I’ve been wondering where I am, where I’ve been lately and I’ve been here. I’m quiet lately, inside and out. I’m calm. I’m reading and taking in the heartache and joy.
There is never quite enough money these days, but every holiday is like that. Just barely making due and I've got more than enough. I’ve got more than enough.
My job is stable and I even got a raise this year. It almost makes me feel guilty with people losing their jobs left and right. Everyone needs groceries and that’s what I sell. My family is healthy besides the occasional cold or filling. We are good.
I am so lucky to be me, today, with my family, friends and my life.
I am so thankful for roller derby teaching me that I really can kick ass and take names. It’s making me fit and confident. I am learning how to make friends with women I would have never made friends with in the past. I am learning to be just myself and how that is more than enough (maybe even sort of pretty ok thing to be).
Thank you, all of you.

Si.
It's pretty amazing just how little we need in life to feel fulfilled.
I was walking home tonight thinking about the git on my blog who thinks I am a loser and well, I was thinking, I am so lucky, I love cooking, I love shopping for food, I love my lover who I will get to see soon, I love all the little things that made last year one of the best years of my life - despite not making it across the Pacific as planned - and well, it's the small things that count.
I've always realised that though. There are 24 hours in each day. Surely it's easy to fill such a short time with happy things; things you like doing. It is usually others who sow seeds of doubt but that is because they are far from happy themselves and usually end up picking on those who are happy.
I am glad that you are feeling brighter.
