Journaling

Dear God,

Today is a day where I go visit with Annie and Donald, two of the closest friends I have had since the "Deodandum" days. I'm excited they're willing to drive out to get me but even more excited I get to spend the night hopefully watching a Cubs game and catching up. These friends of mine have stood by me like so many others. I am so grateful to have a variety of friends who are there through thick and thin.

These past 967 days since my nervous breakdown have been filled with quite a selection of emotions, learning how to think new ways, relate new ways and make mistakes along the way.

But you know what? It's all been worth it. Even the hurts along the way have helped me be more sensitive to others needs including their need for my time, communication and love.

Thank you, Lord. For friends that forgive, family that challenges and doctors/therapists/lawyers who help me through the hardest of times.

Love Amy
