I am glad too nothing is leaking from your house... we have a hole in the roof, which made a hole in the bathroom which we have water leaking on our floor... well in a pot for now... :)
When people say living "life on lifes terms" what do they mean, what other way is there to live it? Oh Robin Hood is fact in that there was a person called Robin Hood
For me "living life on lifes terms" means accepting my negative feelings as valid without trying to cover them up or deny such feelings in the fear that I may appear weak or foolish.
It means acceptance and clear thoughts regarding the reality of any particular situation.
It means when the shit hits the fan, I don't have to drink over it.
