1 full year in England
I have adjusted so much that everything just feels like normal. I do miss my home and family and friends in America though. I can't believe I have been here an entire year straight!!! Nothing really has changed but it definitely feels like it's about to. Mark got his security lisence finally! Now he can finally work again. The worst news I have had this year is learning that's grandmother has breast cancer that spread to her chest and lungs and going even further through her body. She is 84 and doesn't deserve to be in pain at this age. She should be relaxing and ready to leave the world peacefully. It kills me that I can't be there in the states and be with her during her last years. More bad news is that my best friend Dave also discovered he has cancer. He is currently going through chemo as he is young enough to endure it.
I feel like I have aged 20 years this year. I have took charge of my life and I don't let any one put me down or stand in my way. I fight hard for what is right and I stand up for myself and my family. I finally started to block the people out of my life that are bad influences or just plain horrible people. I have both my ex's chances to be nice and civil and stay aquatinted. I gave them about three chances but they kept blowing it over and over again. I finally hit that permanent block button and they are now out of my life for good.
I will keep working to become a better person and do better for my life. It takes time and it can get scary and depressing along the way. I am doing my best to keep my chin above the water.
Anyways, that's my thought for the day. Here is to the next year of my life in England, and may it be a better and more successful year!
