Looking for the break.
Called my parents tonight. They were brilliant.
I really needed some assurance of love, and they really did give me that.
I am very fortunate to have such wonderful parents, that for all of our ups, downs and disagreements on issues, I know they love me unconditionally.
Actually, I spent the entire night on the phone, which is odd, considering I'm not much of a phone-talker:
Tough-love from Kristy. Not always what I want to hear, but a take on my situation that I need to hear.
Funny, friendly and sweet from Brad. An unexpected and very much welcome distraction from the rat-race in my head.
Sympathetic from Kev. It's oddly reassuring to know there's someone out there just as fucked up as me.
In the interest of counting my blessings, I am so thankful for these people tonight.
Oh hell, let's count a few more:
* Health: I found and had my first meeting with my new family doctor. She's my age! She's wonderful and very thorough.
* Girlfriends: whom I brunched with on Sunday. Good food, good conversation, love and support.
* Photography: Upcoming photoshoots and projects. Keeping busy with creativity.
* Food: Chocolate soy milk........you heard me.
* My home: always warm and welcoming, whether it is empty or full of friends. (speaking of full of friends, will be throwing a wee St Patty's Day gathering, more to come on this)
* My eyes: I live by these, work by these, see beauty, and recognize danger with these.
* My bed: somehow, thinking of all this, it doesn't feel so empty tonight.
