Reminders

I am sitting here crying after reading a Facebook post from my good friend Dana about her friend and sorority sister passing away from breast cancer this week at the age of 31. Hearing of other young breast cancer patient not making it hits me hard every time. It reminds me that I am.... I kinda don't want to say lucky but I can't think of another word right now to call it so... lucky. It wakes me up and reminds me that even though my life does not always go the way I want it I AM ALIVE and I should be grateful for that and not dwell on things that are not the way I want them to be currently. Yes, my weight is higher than I want it to be, but I AM ALIVE. Yes, I don't have as much money in my savings as I would like, but I AM ALIVE. Yes, I'm not where I wanted to be in my life in terms of in a relationship or having children, but I AM ALIVE. Don't get me wrong, there are things I like about my life too! I love my family and they are very supportive! I have a great set of friends who are amazing! My Dombey cat is pretty awesome!

Ok, time to have dinner and do some school work because I AM ALIVE so I am going to finally finish my Bachelors Degree!
