Snow, sleet and ice in Bedlam. Lulu and Fanny took to their beloved pole barn.

Today was an important day for me. I think it is Liberation Day in many ways. I freed myself of something that has been a source of fear and discouragement for many years, and which personified the fear, even terror, that became an affliction in childhood and dogged me through much of life. I said goodbye to something I needed to say goodbye too, and I felt a great weight taken off of me, and lifting my heart, and a cloud of fear lifted up off of me, and sailed up into the sky.

This doesn’t mean I will not feel fear, or know it. But I have worked very hard for a long time to liberate myself of this particular fear, and it was difficult and costly and painful, but it is, finally done. I think I may go ot and drink some vodka.
