score: life-2 ashley-1
wow...so life was kicking my ass, but I am coming back, slowly but surely. Somehow things have a way of turning around if you just let go and lighten up. I have worked out a situation that was eating me up inside. I not only figured things out, but I made them good again. It makes me smile a lot when that happens. I thought that tonight was just going to be bad, but it turned out alright. I hung out with my dad even though I wanted to kill him, and realized that he can be ok sometimes, and I had a civil conversation with my stepbrother, and for a second it seemed like we were friends, and I worked out things and got a great friend. AND Mariel told me she is coming to visit on July 10!!! I cannot wait. I miss hanging out with her! Its nights like these that make me realize that life isn't so bad, and it isn't going to kick my ass completely, and I am going to come out with a few wins even if I don't win them all.
