What I'm Thankful For
15 years ago
So... Got my EMG done and I have confirmed CTS in both wrists. Went down and picked up my Bill of Libation this morning. Got a call in to the attorney.... Think I'm set.
The worlds changing rapidly and in big ways around me. I'm going home, as is my live-in girlfriend of the past year. I'm moving forwards by stepping backwards in time, and it's an odd reality to have. When you put yourself in the backseat and evaluate your situation, and realize you're right where you were a year ago, yet so far evolved at the same time. It's almost mesmerizing to see yourself, a changed creature in a redundant setting. It's raised doubts and questions within me as well; Why will it work this time? Whats different? Should I even bother trying? I suppose at the end of the day I'm grateful that, as we change, so do we remain the same. If not for this, where would I be in my current situation? And not just me, but Sarcy as well. It both brings me joy and fear to realize how close, just how near I was to dragging us both down. Things have worked out beautifully so far, and I sincerely hope this trend continues. But to sit, and think, and realize just how dire we were a week ago... Never was I so glad to have experienced that nerve pain, that pushed this line of action into being. I'm thankful for my family, in so many ways. For never hating me, no matter how hard I pursued that goal. For turning me away with good intention, and not contempt. For closing doors, and not hearts and minds. For instilling in me the burning drive to move on, move up, and succeed, no matter what. For showing me that even in hard times, good things can happen. I am thankful for their assistance in these times of my life, and I hope for nothing more than to use this time to the fullest advantage, in such a way as to make them proud of the man I have become, and am still becoming. For this, I am thankful.
