@Jennifer 1967: Early Happy Birthday (in case i forget!) I'm 53 also. My birthday is in August so for four months we will be the same age. Hope your day is wonderful! It's nice to hear that you are enjoying your daughter.

In my news i am taking it easy and relaxing. My self-abuse has lessened a great deal. I'm trying hard to count my blessings. They ARE there. Trying to be grateful.
