I'm curled up in the Africa blanket, drinking tea because i'm trying to not drink so much caffeine, but i really like coffee, so i just don't know how this is going to go. But this space is feels like home, it's chuck full of memories that seem to stretch much longer than the year spent here, and i don't ever quite know what to do with that.

Today, i'm feeling real grateful for this place, and these people. Sometime i get real tunnel vision-y, and i lose sight of feeling grateful because sometimes, when things get hard and i'm feeling hurt, i forget to be grateful.

I'm hopeful that spring will bring beautiful beginnings, and brighter days, and deeper relationships.

I feel the awkward hanging in the air lately, full of things unsaid, but, i think it will all work out the way its supposed to.

I don't particularly love hearing about my faults, but lately i've been really willing to hear them...because, well, i'm sure it things i need to hear.

I do know, that the sun is shining and i am surrounded by love which might not look the exact way i thought it would, but i need to choose to see it. i need to choose to feel it, and i need to remember to say thank you  more.
