Happy Turkey Day.

In the cold air that is life, sometimes we are forced to remember bad times. Forced to absorb everything full circle. Forced to face our own life. Forced to move forward when the subliminal is trying to tell you to shut down. Such is the case this week.....

It has been an interesting ride, this life of mine, for the last 4 days. Up, down, quiet, boisterous, happy, sad. I could never quite figure out why. I could never really put my finger on it. Until yesterday.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

Exactly 3 days to the anniversary, of a horrible incident that occurred while I was in "rehab". I had pushed this incident far, far, far out of my mind. At least I thought I had.

Yesterday at work, I was working on a brief and testimony for one of our clients. I will not give the details. I will not dwell on the subject. I will only say that it was like a slap in my face. There I was, working on this "brief" and encountering everything full circle again in my head. I could not shake it for quite some time. I went to bed last night reliving the horror of that night one year ago.........

Rough night.
Belly ache.
Mind twisting.
Maxx wet on my side of the bed.

Yet. I am thankful for the blessings of my "life".

Saturday I was extremely upset with my family.
Their complete lack of my existence.
Their complete disregard for my familial ties.
Their complete lack of common courtesy.

I am over it.

I should be ashamed of my riches. (As I post regularly)

One year ago today I was somewhere where life seemed but a dream.
An existence beyond the walls was just a folly.....

I am thankful for everyone in my life.
I am thankful for Maxx peeing on my bed.
I am thankful for the blessing of a wonderful man in my life.
I am thankful for the joy of a life full of choices........

Too many times I dwell on the pain of the past.
Too many times I think I will never get anywhere.
Too many times I overlook the obvious.
Too many times I think I need more.
Too many times I want more.

Thank you life for the life I have been given.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am truly blessed to have you in my life!
