1. Living my life as I see fit. 2. Not having any kids. 3. Marrying the love of my life. 4. Thinking freely. 5. Coffee
I feel like I won the lottery. I am very happy, free as I can be, very content. My list could go on and on, there are so many things that I am happy about and so grateful for. Mormonism is a soul and life destroyer.
1. Being non-judgmental--enjoying folks for who they are. 2. Tossing out a suit--my formal wear now consists of my best jeans with a collard shirt. 3. Enjoying friends--all types, because--see item 1--I get to love people 4. Being able to cuss whenever I feel like it. 5. Giving to charitable organizations that I want to support. 6. Being my earthy self knowing that God love me regardless. 7. Having friends on this Board.
Freedom to think how I actually think rather than how I perceive others expect me to think.
Freedom to speak up when I think something is wrong. For example, Steve benson's post on rape and LDS culture. It sickened me then but I didn't say so. It was wrong that I didn't.
Freedom from church callings. Our son-in-laws' mother worries and frets 2 weeks before giving her monthly RS lesson.
Freedom to eat and drink whatever I like, and to discover what I do like, which leads to:
My beloved 2 cups morning coffee!
Not feeling guilty for ordering a drink at dinner, like Peach Bellini's or Margaritas.
Not being afraid to wear a favorite shirt that we had printed while in Yellowstone that says: "Go sit on a geyser" I happened to have that shirt on when I answered the door, and there stood the missionaries! Whoops.
