Happy re-birthday to me

May 01, 2009 05:20

As of today I have 2 years clean.

Amusingly, yesterday someone left a spam comment on an entry from Feb '07, so I took that opportunity to skim some entries from back then. Boy was I borderline crazy, and I couldn't string together $50 in savings. In fact, I was almost always broke. On that particular post I had pulled a muscle pole dancing.

Today, I strain my brain every day I work as a Nurse. It's kicking my butt, it's the most challenging thing I have ever done, and I know it's still just the beginning.

Today, I still don't choose the relationships that are best for me, but I am trying to be more objective when assessing the people that come into my life.

Today, I make attempts to call and see friends, before I avoided everyone except those I was using with.

Today, I am grateful to God to be alive, to have my head mostly clear (I'm still unique, emotional, and crazy, lol).

Today, I am grateful to have a chance to become what I am supposed to be in this life.

Today, I am grateful I'm not allergic to mornings anymore, that I don't have 2 hour wars with my snooze bar. :) That I can sit here at 5:15 in the morning before work and write.

So, LJ, I shall write more. I've been using the old-fashioned pen and paper for a bit now, hiding my thoughts and my progress from you. But this journal wouldn't be complete unless I included the person I am today and am becoming. I was also thinking about starting an anonymous Nursing blog, we'll see what happens.

*hugs* to you all, thanks for being there throughout the years.

recovery, anniversary, gratitude
