Today, Life is Good!

Well, tomorrow is the start of Winter Quarter 2012.

Hody Cow.

I've been thinking a lot about where I was a year ago: depressed, sitting in my living room chair balling my eyes out because I couldn't come back to school because of my health.  I had to e-mail teachers that I wasn't coming back right after I had achieved all of my goals I had set out to accomplish.  I didn't even have the strength to walk up stairs or take a shower.  I had to tell my roommate I'd miss the first year in our new house and I had to tell the love of my life I didn't know when I'd see him again.  I felt sooo much anger.  Why was this  happening?  My life had reached the point were I dreamed it would be and now I can't even live it.  Why?

I engaged in a lot of self-pity to cope with the circumstances.

Ugh.... no bueno.

For those of you who read my blog, you can probably tell I talk about this a lot.  I never occurred to me until now just how much the situation affected me.  It was probably the most emotional trauma I've ever been through and not only is the physical healing in process but the emotional and mental as well.

But, it's not all bad.  I got to slow down and do absolutely nothing (it was good but it got old way too fast).  I got to spend lots of quality time with my family, finish the Harry Potter Novel Series, and master Pinochle!

Today, life is good.  My health is slowly creeping back and so is my mental and emotional stability.  Thinking about where I was a year ago and comparing it to now, I really have made remarkable process.  I have a new outlook on life and I appreciate what I am able to do.

So here we go winter quarter!  Nothing's stopping me!  Well ok, yes I'm going to have to sleep on a regular basis ;-)

Here's to the first schooling in 2012!  I know anything will most likely be better than last year!! =)
