A few years ago I prayed to be content with my life. I got much more than I deserve from God.

I was thinking a lot last night. It's not that I've been taking my friends for granted, but I just remembered how lucky I am to have them. My friends from ER, SDYM, Islands...from where ever. These past few days, I've been able to lean on them, confide in them, and just plain talk to them. Both new friends and old have really pulled me out of a rut. I am so thankful for each one. They understand me like no one could. They listen to me even if they're sick of hearing it. They laugh at my jokes even when they suck. I feel embraced and accepted by all of them. I feel like I belong...

I said that it was going to be a good and different Christmas. I was right. It's TOTALLY different now; a good different.

Wow, 2 more weeks till Christmas. Time for me to head out...this house is getting way too boring for me.
