This past month has really put me to the test. Prior to this point in my life, I had never known what it is like to lose someone you are close to, someone you love, someone who carries a integral piece of yourself inside of them. I have really learned a lot about personal strength, personal frailty and overcoming it all so that you are still standing alive in the end. One of the critical things that I think has helped me to not plunge into the abyss has been my constant monitoring of the simple and beautiful things that I have to be thankful for in life. Even though things are hard, I do feel as if I am growing as a person and at the end of this whole mess I will turn out to be a better person- "a Phoenix rises from the ashes"
1.) Autumn. Probably the best season, ever. I find myself entranced daily by the beauty of October.
2.) Taking time to myself and by that I mean driving around aimlessly, jamming out to Nirvana.
2.) My health. I am so fortunate to have a capable and strong body.
3.) Kitty! I really like having something to take care of, and he's super cute!
4.) My family. I would be so lost without them. They are my home and my heart.
5.) This incredible opportunity called college. Even though I feel as if I'm not in a total capacity to understand just how amazing the college experience can be (due to my circumstances) I do realize that this is a absolutely incredible, once in a life time experience. I need to embrace it, cherish it and take advantage of it.
