The fact that I’ve just finished the CRAZIEST week of my nursing program with both my life AND sanity intact has led me to thinking about how I got here. Okay, so the sanity bit is debatable, I’ll give you that.
This is how I got here:
I have an amazing mom who has done my laundry, cooked my dinners, prepared my lunches and listened to my tirades even when she wasn’t feeling well. I did NOT let her do all that since she’s been sick, seriously. Okay so maybe I have let off some steam here and there, but you can BE SURE that I whispered if she was sleeping. Do you realize how hard it is to WHISPER while ranting? Try it.
I have A-FREAKIN-MAZING classmates who unknowingly reach out to me in my darkest moments, give me desperately needed rides to class on a whim, buy me Starbucks when I’m having a bad day, pray for me, text me when I’m not in class, stay 20 minutes longer after class so I can copy their notes and always make me laugh. (you know who you are ;))
I have a dad who scrapes the frost off my car and warms it up 15 minutes before I leave for class (running late no less). He also lets me practice my sharpened wit and sarcasm at his expense. Thanks dad!
I have a dear, sweet friend who comes over to wash our family’s dishes, walk our dog and offer continual support, fellowship and love. She has shown me what a true servant’s heart is like.
I have a best friend whose mere 10-minute phonecall was able to keep me laughing, smiling and realizing how blessed I am.
I have a God who loves me more than I am capable of understanding, who patiently waits while I fume about how unfair life is, and who has given me the people mentioned above.

Oh and I have people who read my blog (and exclaim at my outlandish remarks to quit) whom I love, no matter how quiet and un-commenting they are.

That’s how I’ve made it so far, and I know I’m gonna make it to May 2010!
What are you grateful for?

LOVE!

ps So in the month of November I got more hits here than ever, which is ironic to me considering the lack of posts and then the “I QUIT” post. Maybe I should quit more often.
