Awake... finally
Well, after the accident on Thursday, I have been without a car, and this has changed things a little.... Normally it is hard for me to accept things from people, afraid of what they might think my motives are in accepting, or afraid I don't have enough to offer in return.
This weekend was wonderful, yet another reminder of how I'm in the right places at the right times. I gained an entirely new perspective on some situations that have been haunting me, and I got to spend time with wonderful new friends, and accept help. I am amazed at the way life gives me everything I need to grow.
Friday night was so incredible, it was so sweet for so many people to help cheer me up and make me feel so special. Exactly what I needed for this strange transition time. Thank you Sara for coming up with the idea and making it happen! What an amazing friend Sara has been, helping me in so many ways.
Saturday was really great, unexpected time with friends that I enjoyed so much, getting to know them, and them helping me to understand in places I hadn't seen yet. My mom also called me on Saturday morning to tell me that she had found a dresser at a thrift shop and asked if I wanted her to get it for me and I could just pay her back later... I was so happy (I was looking for a dresser or two on thursday when I got rear-ended, which ended the hunt) and she called me back a little later than that to tell me she found another one! Thanks to Brent and Mandy, I didn't have to screw up my back again by lifting them upstairs! They were so kind to do that for me, and I was once again reminded of how much my life has changed in just a few weeks.
Sunday was "me" time, which I enjoyed immensely. I finally got all of the boxes unpacked that were sitting in my bedroom, which were usually the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. I realized lately how important it is for me to feel "complete". (Those boxes made me feel very incomplete!)
I also took some time to reevaluate what is important to me, since I've been learning so much in my new work and social environments. I wrote down several things that are crucial to my well-being that I had never discovered before. No wonder my back has taken so long to heal! I've been getting "bent out of shape" and not using my backbone... hehe the literal sometimes has more merit than I give it credit for.
When I go into the next chapter of my career, which I have the feeling will begin very soon, I will have a sense of clarity that I did not have when I first started working at the place I am working in now. I have to know my boundaries, and respect them. Everyone is different, and therefore my boundaries will not always be obvious to others. This beautiful dance of human interaction needs to have more communication.... on MY part.
My room is finally getting organized, and so is my brain. And my heart is growing...
Yippee!!!
