Dear ___________, Thanks For Teaching Me.

Dear Friend,
Thanks for teaching me that I am stronger than I think.
And that it is okay to take walls down.
That it's good to give people second chances.
But it's also okay to stand up for what you deserve.

Dear Kindred Soul,
Thanks for teaching me that life happens when you least expect it.
That the best way to live is fully, and that there are people
that understand everything going on around me.

Dear Brown Eyes,
Thanks for teaching me that I will do ANYTHING and
drop ANYTHING for those I love. That with everything I do, I am all in!
That to be loved by me is kind of
a special thing and that I have a lot to give.
Thanks for teaching me that sometimes that means putting
my own feelings to the side a little bit,
so that I can help those I love.

Dear EpicWin,
Thanks for teaching me how to be brave.
For teaching me that a different path doesn't mean a wrong path. That picking yourself up and moving forward is one of the best feelings.
And that it's often necessary to take a leap of faith!
I will always love and be grateful for you.

Dear You,
Thanks for teaching me that it's okay to rant sometimes.
It's okay to be upset sometimes.
And it's okay that I am a baby and cry when I am feeling strong emotions.
Thanks for also teaching me to laugh at myself.
To enjoy all that I do, to be spontaneous and to live for me.
You're another one I will forever love and abe grateful for.

Dear New Friend,
Thanks for re-teaching me what it's like to discover something new.
For teaching me to be open minded, and reminding me what
it is like to be in uncharted territory.
I hope this new friendship turns into an old one.

Dear Mom,
Thanks for teaching me basically everything I know.
And for teaching me that I can do hard things.

Dear Dad,
Thanks for teaching me what it means to
feel the spirit. And what it means to follow Christ.
I was one of the lucky ones who got to learn this from you.

Continue to learn from them. Everyday.
Thanks.

I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come.

In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love.

And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...

How True This Is

She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her.

I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or...
