It's funny to realize the things that make you happy. It's one thing to understand that it would, but an entirely different thing to actually experience it.
There are so many good things lately. I feel like I can breathe a little better. Things are going really well for my family, which makes me incredibly happy vicariously. Kathy found Scott and finally realized what she was missing, it's pretty much a given that they'll eventually get engaged and married and I've never seen her this happy and content. Danny stopped smoking, he's got a job that pays well, he has health care and he got glasses for the first time in... forever. Mom and Dad are currently on their first ever cruise and Mom is texting every five seconds how excited she is. I go to work every day happy to be there and come home to Sako and my family. I'm pondering the idea of using my tax return to get new contacts and glasses. Once my legs decide to cooperate, I want to start running and eventually be able to do Insanity again.
I think the biggest thing is that I've been wanting to do things where for the longest time I just haven't had the motivation. I want to get back into working out, I've been writing and my brain won't leave me alone with ideas, I'm wanting to go out and do things.
Things are good. So, so good. Still tough, but there's a type of satisfaction that just eases the financial things. I know I can handle that part, even when I don't have a lot to work with. I've gotten myself back to a point where I just feel human again.
