I'm So Blessed

Coffee and blogging...my two loves that I don't enjoy as often as I should. I also enjoy reading quotes (from my quote calendar!) I hung the one from last Thursday up on my wall and forgot to include it yesterday but it's a really great quote from Anna Freud- "I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time." I think I've become more confident now that I'm learning to be alone and comfortable with myself. I am blessed.

I have better friends than I could have ever hoped for. This came to my attention yesterday when I was overwhelmed with the people who loved me. One particular came over last night and we had a heart to heart over chocolate chip cookies. I love that sweet friend to death and literally would do anything for her. She is not only a beautiful person outside, her soul glows with each word she says and Christ's light shines through her into darkness. I am blessed.

I also realized today that my life could be so different. I'm lucky to be able to go to school. I'm lucky I have a roof over my head, clothes on my body, and food in my stomach. I'm lucky I'm sitting out of the cold and rain and on my laptop sharing my thoughts with you. I'm lucky I don't have to hide my opinion. I'm lucky I have a family that if I really needed them, would drop whatever they were doing to be there. I'm lucky I have friends that text me just to say hi or swing by my apartment just to give me a hug. I am so lucky and I am so, so incredibly blessed.

Thank you for being part of my life and a blessing to me.
