I have:
a new set of tools
2 new Rubbermaid bins
new rubber duckie stuff for my new bathroom
a new care package for Jennifer
a new diploma
You know, I didn't feel it until I opened and read the actual diploma, but I actually accomplished something. I didn't think it would matter since I already have a B.A. and an M.Ed., but I'm kinda emotional about the whole thing. This was the most challenging year of my life, and I still plugged through and completed all of my personal goals. I created a life in Columbus, I earned my MSW, I made friends, I gained clinical skills. When I moved here I thought I'd be thinking about children by now, but things change and I change with them.
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
I am blessed. I am one of the luckiest people in the history of the universe. I am loved more than many, and I love more than most. I have a comfortable existance, a family to fall back on and who will always catch me, a brother who is a best friend, a former roommate that will always be one of the most important people in my life, and two cool cats.
I have seen cities and let their buildings rise inside of me, I have embraced their noise and their smells, and I have let them love me. I walk with the sun on my face at all times. I have confidence, and I have strength, and I can do anything. But I am grateful. I have not forgotten that not everyone is fortunate. I have not stopped helping others. I have not ceased thanking my creators and those who have come before me.
I am grateful, and I am proud.
