Two years later...

I went to college. Eastern CT University. I am almost finished with my sophmore year.
I am in habitat for humanity. I have been through two of the most important years of my life.
I am single. I am educated. I love who I am and who I surround myself with.
I have come so far from where I was that if I didn't have written documentation
of what my life was like four or five years ago I wouldn't believe it.
I am sitting in a hostel in San Jose Costa Rica. I have been living with a family for the
past two months and I don't go home for another 5 weeks. I have made friends that I will
remember for the rest of my life. Maybe I will see them again and maybe I wont.
But I'm okay with that. I have adopted a zen personality. No expectations.
Nothing to hide, nothing to prove, and nothing to loose. I am happy, and I can say that
with all the confidence in the world. It took me so many years to get to this place.
I have God to thank. I have my friends to thank. I have my family to thank.
I love children. I am going to be a social worker. I am going to make a difference.
This is an entry about me. and nothing else. I needed to sit down and reflect.
I am living a stress free life right now. In this moment. This is the best time for me
to look at what I want and where I am going. I have a future. I have dreams and goals.
I can say that I take opportunities that are put in front of me. I seek out the beauty
and the mystery of the life that I have been given. and I am grateful.
I am flawed and imperfect. I make mistakes and sometimes it takes a few times for me to
learn from them. But in one way or another I do learn from them. The time that we live
in is full of uncertainty. I take the good with the bad. I am not waiting. I am living.
There is no reason for me to fear the future. There is no reason for me to worry.
I will change what I can and leave the rest to God.
I Love Music. I love poetry and art. I appreciate the natural world. I understand the
pain and suffering that humanity feels. I am looking at the big picture and I see so much
more than I ever have before. I smile for no reason. I cry when I need to. I laugh often.
I take what I have been given and make it colorful and bright. There is nothing and
everything right in front of me.

There is love.
There is joy.
There is me.
