It's a new day!

I simply cannot tell you how light and happy I feel now that The Beau's ex is out of the state and (one would hope) getting help and getting better.

Beau seems so much more relaxed too.

We were able to hang out and watch a movie on Saturday night without cringing when the phone rang or when he got a text message (it would start with one text message and then he'd get about seven more within five minutes--it would get worse from there).

I hope she woke up wherever she is this week and felt the sense of newness and lightness too. Mental illness is a horrible burden for the people who suffer and the folks around them who suffer just as much.

Here's to good days, new beginnings, and feeling good about your situation, no matter what your situation is.

Breathe in and smile. It's gonna be a great day!
