I was searching for a song or quote from some strong, independent woman who could encapsulate this joy I feel today. And then I thought what better woman than me to say, " I have given myself away too many times, and now here I sit, gazing out at islands in the sea, two dogs at my feet, parrots squawking in the palms, and a sense of calm washing over everything. Let the noisy world bluster on. I am content. No one lays claim to my heart or my time; I own myself fully. If I were Faust, I'd be doomed, but as my own true self, I am peaceful and pleased." How sweet is that?
