I am so excited to come back to california!!! i just got off the phone with chip, and that always raises my spirits. i found a great job that will net me travel and moving money, i am drug-free and feeling good (except balonification of course) and i am beginning to appreciate and see in a new light many of the struggles i have endured since i have been here. i feel tough as nails right now. i overcame a move in a faithful whim to pursue a dream, which resulted in nearly two years of complete loner time - at my parents' house. Me, myself, i, no boyfriend, no besties, and a ton of demons. Girls - IT WAS NOT PRETTY. i have seen my darkest days, and it forced me to find spirit again, and now i am beginning to feel the engine rev up - YEAHH!!!!! I may even make out with adam levine from maroon 5!!! just need to make it to the awards show!! : )

...makes me think of Cindy Martin (that VP I used to work for) who when asked how she is always so positive replied, "I feel grateful for everything that happens to me, even the hard stuff, especially the hard stuff."
I love that your next post is, I Saw Brett Today, because his mother's words echo in my head frequently...."Life is not for wimps."
