On Being Thankful

Announcement, I am switching the domain name to lookingforseattle instead of primeofmytime in the next few days because it makes sense and that domain just became available. Please prepare accordingly, it will be changed in 5-7 days (I'm not the most consistent when it comes to blogging).

Late last night I was doing the usual and sifting through the internet for anything of interest, when randomly, I remembered this email a close friend of mine sent me in high school. Well, kind of random, I have been meaning to try and find it for awhile, I just remembered last night. And lo and behold, I still have it saved in my gmail. Rereading it brought tears to my eyes, and now a days that seems to be a rarity. I looked at the time and he had sent it at 3 in the morning... 

Looking back at that time in my life, it probably didn't seem like that big of a deal, just felt like something sweet and dear but it actually helped me through a very difficult chapter of my life. To know that someone was watching over me and taking care of me from afar makes me so thankful for all of my distant brothers and sisters that stay up late at night praying for me. 

And even though I did some solidly stupid things during those few pages, would I have made it through without them? 

I wish I had thanked him more profusely, I wish I had taken his words deeper to heart and believed in myself as much as everyone else did. But I know that with every mistake there is a learning curve. And yes, sometimes I wish there was some way to cover up different things that happened in my life, different things that I did. I feel like I am hiding things from everyone but I guess that doesn't really matter. I have been healed of those things.

This was quite the ramble, just some thoughts that have been passing through my mind. I am just so grateful for each and every person in my family (related and extended) for being there for me and I hope they know that I am always here when they need me.
