| Well, today was my 24th birthday. I am happy to say that I am truly grateful to have made it this far. It's been a bumpy road, and I'm sure there will always be a few more bumps, but I've learned how to deal with them better. I had a great day. My husband and I went to the movies and dinner and to the park. I was so excited because they actually had a see-saw at the park. I hadn't seen one of those in years. We had to give it a go, of course. It was so much fun. It made me feel like a kid again. We also had fun on the swings. I love that feeling you get on a swing, like if you just swing high enough you can touch the sky. It reminded me that my inner child is still alive. I guess she's just been sleeping for a long time. It also reminded me of how many little things I take for granted. You have to enjoy the little things, because if you spend your life waiting for the big things, you can get discouraged. I think I'm starting to fall in love with life again and as with any love, you have to accept both the good qualities and the bad. There may be clouds now, but the sun is shining behind them. I've decided to dance in the rain until the sun is ready to greet me once again. |
