So much to be thankful for this year. Gosh I need to get to mass this week. Need to thank someone for all of it. My ocean swim was completed a few weeks ago. I raised some money for CAF, an amazing organization, and I found a reason to live out there in the waves. Beyond the waves, my Dad told me to live because he can't. He told me not to feel bad that I'm alive and he's not... but that I should live as well as I can because he cannot. And my Grandfather told me to listen. A good reminder. :) I don't care if writing these things make others think I'm crazy. I found a reason to live again and it's not completely encompassed in someone else. That is truly an amazing feat in my opinion.
So I received two medals that day. That of a medal to signify my completion of a swim and that of a special someone to signify a new beginning.
Life....
is...
good...
More than good. Life is full and joyous.
Grandpa John's house is being sold. My Mam will have money to fix up the house. One last christmas present from my Grandpa... thanx Grandpa John. My brother has a job now so he won't have to sell off everything he owns. And I've met someone. Wow.
So like I said. Life is good.
And I have sooooo very much to be thankful for this holiday season. I'm gonna get to mass sometime this week dagnabit!
I've been smiling more these past few weeks than I have all my life. I'm stressed with some papers at school but I am so fucking happy. So joyous.
Somedays I tend to hate everything.
But today:
Everything...
is...
awesome...
and...
beautiful. :)
Three cheers for change! Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip HOORAY!!! HIP-HIP HOORAY!
That's right. I just said hooray... three times.
Damn... Im giddy.
My family is good. Yet I pray for others around me who are suffering. Maybe I can give them some of my good energy to help get them through. Yah... I'm going to mass this week. Need to have a solid chunk of time to just pray. :)
That's that for now.
To alll or any reading these words: Have a very happy thanksgiving.
