Last night was the Turkey Hop, and it was the first time that I really felt like my normal self at a USY event all year. I didn't need my alumni friends who were back to visit, though it was amazing to see them. I actually danced and spent time with the people who have proven to be the best friends I could ever ask for. I stood in the center of the crowded room and felt so happy. I did not feel like an outsider or alone. I felt happy, safe, at home. Last night gave me closure and made me realize that things happen for a reason, and that every thing does work out OK in the end. Its the way its meant to be, and much better than any other way.
In general, I've been so happy lately. I've realized that all the stess of college and school just isn't worth it. I have friends and family that I love a lot. I'll end up somehwere and find something to do. I need to enjoy right now, this moment. Now is what I need to focus on.
An hour ago my family participated in our yearly tradition of listening to Alice's Restaurant at 12 noon. That made me very happy as well. It's our one really big family tradition. I love it.
It is Thanksgiving, and I have so much to be thankful for.
Happy Thanksgiving.
