So.. This will be a lengthy status. Just giving a preface. My wonderful friend, gave me the heads up that McDonalds has recalled one of the Hello Kitty figures, she includes a whistle that kiddos can choke on. (What happened to the days where McDonalds were partnered with Little Tykes and you were required to tell them that your child was under 4 years old? *shrugs*) Therefore, I need to find this ONE before the entire world of eBay finds out. Its Kitty holding a heart shaped lollipop. Moving along.. I know today is Veterans Day, thanking for sharing your wonderful photos of your family members (and yourselves) I also thank you and them for their service! You mean a LOT to us all. My grandfather was a Marine, and a lot of my family were vets. Incredibly so, their lives were claimed far less (or more, depending on how you look at it.) heinously and petty than battle and it makes me sad that they endured so much, only to die at the hands of another human in NYC. I, unfortunately, do not have photos to share :( however, I am no less thankful for their lives and efforts theyve contributed to the safety of this Country. Going forward, I know we have a couple more weeks until Thanksgiving and the year isnt over, but I wanted to post about the things I am thankful for. This year began in a tumultuous state for me. I found myself, again, in a position where everything was seemingly falling apart. Things seemed like a broken record, playing one verse over and over again. I made the conscious decision to change everything. I rediscovered my relationship with God, on MY terms, in MY way. In doing so, I became hungry, I became ravenous in discovering my life path. I had a choice this time. I didnt wait until my dignity, self-respect, self-love, and sanity was taken from me. I made a choice. In the midst of making that choice, I opened my life to new people. New friends that I now could not imagine not having in my life, my Kermie, my Lovebug, theyve helped me countless times in remembering how awesome I am, and keeping me on track of my goal: discovering my true self. Not putting on facades anymore. They helped relinquish my fear of being myself. Whoever that person may be, I am slowly understanding her, thanks to them. Im also thankful for the experiences in love Ive had this year. Had I not witnessed the collapse of the love house I built for one individual incapable of living in it with me, I would have never made the choice to put all faith, trust and love into God. He said, love Him, and trust Him, and He will provide me with everything I need. I did that. I did only that, because that is all I had left. August 30th, I went out to mingle with a potential new friend, and ended up with a life partner. I didnt plan this, I didnt ask for this. I was not even trying. I thought I needed a night out with a friend to laugh with and talk to. I got way more than I imagined. When all my thoughts surrounded this person, afterwards, I knew. It comes so easy and so frequently to say I love you, Thomas. Every time I say it, its filled with gut wrenching pain of past unspoken I love yous, and equally, joy & happiness. Lastly, as the year ends, Im grateful for new adventures, I have actually seen a spike of activity in my career for the first time in seven years. You read correctly, SEVEN. I am determined. I am ready. Today, I am reminded that although Ive had to humble my lifestyle a whole lot, Ive a great team BESIDE me not behind me, and we are succeeding in Gods light. I feel for the first time in many years; potential, hope, blossoming. Today, is a damn good day. If I can make it, everyone can. Thank you for reading and I hope each and every one of you, are celebrating this day and all days as it is, and welcome growth and change.
