Grateful.

  This post isn't to whine about things I don't currently have in life. I'm sure you've all heard enough of that. :P I would apologize for it, but it was honest and real, and I don't think that showing either of those qualities warrants an apology. We all get that way... I just happen to occasionally vent those days in writing.
  No this post is to be grateful. Grateful for (in)courage e-mails with blogs from other women who are going through what I'm going through and get right to the heart of the matter, showing me how I should be acting and living. Grateful for all of you who read this despite my bouts of self-indulgent behavior; for friends that feel like family (only you're better because I got to choose you!). Grateful for beautiful days that remind me that despite how I feel inside, wonder and awesome beauty still exist in the world for those willing to acknowledge it. Grateful for a gift in writing that has blessed me, and will hopefully one day bless others. And occasionally grateful for small things like voices lost to colds that make the house quieter for a moment or two. Haha.
  And today, I am most grateful to be getting out of the house not only for groceries, but for cake and popcorn and Zac Efron with a sister of my heart. So today is a day just to be you, no apologies. Because I'm grateful that you are exactly who you are, even if you're a weird impatient crazy like me. You make my life better.
