Contemplations

*Giggling and talking until way too late
*Yummy Thai food
*Deep, dark discussions of 'The Plan' and the future
*Playing with EVERYBODY'S hair
*Audrey Hepburn marathon
*Awesome quote from Liz
*Serious (and not-so-serious) talks about politics, boys, life, love, growing up, everything
*House, MD
"Ah! He's got a Vertigo poster in his office!" ~Me
"OMG. Elissa so wants to do Wilson now." ~Melissa
I keep searching for the words to write about this weekend and keep finding myself lacking. My skill at waxing poetic about the joys of life are not quite up to par with others on my lj friends list. All I know is that, even if I'm having a bad tummy day, I feel better and happier there than anywhere else. I feel alive again when I go back. And I love that so much. But, I'm tired of only living when I 'go back.' Life has gone on. I just didn't. I shut down and went numb.
It's been 3 years since I first started getting sick. It's been one year today since I was placed on TPN and was given a chance to re-start my life. I think I've finally realized how absolutely blessed I am to be given that chance. I'm through being miserable and numb. I could not ask for better friends: they're in B-ham, in Athens, in Atlanta, in Nashville, in Florence, and they're amazing. I could not ask for a more wonderful family. I have so many abilities and opportunities. I'm ready to wake up and start living again. Yes, there will still be bad days and disappointments. Then God gets to shine. 'Cause I'm only gonna be strong enough to do this with Him.
"To keep me from becoming conceited, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:7-9
