Just Going to Brag a Little

I don't know if I ever mentioned it, but I went perm at my work place not too long ago! PRAISE GOD! This means health benefits, a raise and PTO! Yeah, baby! I can truly say that I enjoy going to work each day and making the very best of what's on my platter.

On another note, finally went back to Helen. It's been almost a decade since I've been there. I'm completely tubed out!! It was a lot of fun. I really wanted to ride along side my husband, but he fell and couldn't get back up again. I figured we can always take the next ride together. I rode down the stream and battled each rock as I came... it felt empowering to say the least. We never did get that ride together, but that's okay. I'm sure there's always a next time according to people, but to me, next time is not this time and who knows if there will be a next time. It is what it is and I can't force people to make memories with me if they don't want to.

These days I've been feeling real fine; extremely good to be exact. Why? I believe it's because I am living for myself for the first time in my entire life. I honestly don't care what others think of me. I know I am not a bad person and others may choose to disagree, but I know deep down that I am doing the best I can in all areas of my life. People can talk as much crap as they like, but I am completely at peace with my surrounding and not a single soul can destroy this peace that I've found. Honestly, I am at complete acceptance of all that I am and all that's around me. I can choose to make life better or choose to make life worse. That's my decision and no body else's and knowing that, it's empowering. Yes, these days have been real fine.

Oh, did I mention I got a new car? HA! Everyone's making fun of me for getting a Chevy. I honestly don't care. It's red, cute, and I like it. Runs pretty smooth. I don't even feel bad that I'm getting a new car while my husband is driving my beat up Nissan. This may make me sound a little mean, but I honestly don't feel bad. I know I deserve something nice after all these years of hard work. My husband couldn't agree more. Besides, he's had his chances with new cars. Did I mention he's got five new cars in our five years of marriage?

Speaking of five, Happy 5th year anniversary, Sweetheart! I can't believe we're going on the 5th year! Only by the grace of God. The seven year itch is almost over right? Puahahahahahs! We've been good to one another and I know God can testify to that. However, God can also testify to the fact that it wasn't easy for us, but truly through the grace of God.... it is truly God's blessings that we're together. Praise God through the storms and through many, many sunshines ahead.
