A lot has me down lately. I can't train, I'm in serious discomfort/pain, and for one of the few times in my life I WANT to go to the ER. My job search is not going well, nor is my Adult Furniture search. My fabulous new apartment is a wreck, and I'm too d@mn hurt/tired/bummed to deal with it.
So back to basics:
I have a job. I have a decent job that pays the bills. I can pay every single one of my bills, on time, every month. And I can even save a little here and there, which was unheard of last year.
My life is a thousand and three times better than it was a year and a month ago. I found the strength to leave an emotionally abusive relationship, and I am back to being someone I love and want to be around. I am an incredibly cool person, with a lot of gifts and strengths, and I love that I can recognize that and allow those to come forward.
I have an incredible support network. My best friend drives me nuts, but she would do anything for me, and I would do anything for her. I have incredible parents whom I love, enjoy spending time with, and who drive me nuts in only the way parents can, that lets you know how much they care.
I have parents whom I love, and who love me. With most of my family and friends in the business of mopping up after complete parental failures
(kid therapy/adjudicated youth
), I do not forget for one minute how amazingly blessed I am to have the parents I do. It was worth stating twice.
Finally, I am happy that I can step back and recognize all of this. I have the power to be happy, and I'm taking it!
