How Will I Know? (NOT Whitney Houston's version)

How will I know for sure I am over it?  I get asked this question often by people who have come across this blog.  Before today, I didn't have an answer that made sense to me.

Today, which was a BEAUTIFUL day despite this weekend's freak October snow storm in the NY area, I was in Yonkers riding on a bus, and a song that had me doubled over in a drippy ball of snot flowing, cheek burning, gasping for breath tears in the spring did something completely surprising:

 it made me smile.

When do you finally let it SINK IN that you are better?  When a song that used to make you cry makes you smile.

That is my answer.

I love you guys for taking this journey with me. I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!
