March was a busy month and April is proving to be just as exciting! I love Spring! Lots of birthdays this time of year for us and all kinds of celebrations.
Here’s a bit of why I have been missing (besides my phone-in-toilet situation)!
And finally we start April… I turned 36 and had a ton of fun with all the birthday festivities! Captain made it very special for me. We had an incredible weekend complete with mini golf, driving range, laser tag, games at Dave & Busters, a tennis match, wonderful dinners, movies and shopping! Whew!
It’s been a fun filled few weeks and I feel very loved and blessed. I have an incredible family, boyfriend and group of friends. Never imagined I’d be here. A year ago I was grappling with uncertainty, pain, bouts of sadness, unsure of a new relationship, tons of concern for my kids, anger and confusion. I can’t say it’s all 100% gone but I can certainly say I’m a good 80% better. And I’ll take that. I’m looking straight ahead and welcoming what’s in store for me and my kids.
Thank you all for checking in on me and always supporting my progress. ❤️💜❤️
Besos,
Athena
Sounds busy. I’m exhausted just reading all that! 😃
Awesome that you’re in such a better lace now. Time heals all wounds, even though there may be a scar left behind. Happy Belated Birthday by the way. 😃

Sounds like it! Love the Keys, by the way. My wife and I honeymooned in Key West and we get down there as often as we can, which, unfortunately, isn’t often enough. Snorkeling, paddling, fishing. The Keys are right up my alley.

Sorry, my son threw a ball at me that ended up knocking my phone out of my hand. Captain will be working down in Key West for about a month and I’ll go down there to spend some of that time with him. If you guys head down this way at any point, you better let me know! 😉

Aw, thanks, my friend! It’s been a fun few weeks. And when I compare to my feelings last year, I see a complete leap forward, thank goodness!
Certainly wasn’t meant to be a show off thing – and I know you know that – but I did worry that it seemed so braggy. But I am pretty proud of the lovely people around me and think I’m pretty lucky in that sense. I sure as hell know I couldn’t have survived this without them. Xoxoxo
