Blogaversary

It was really on March 27, but better late than never.

To commemorate the day (which I had not even realized, probably out of the craziness that was this awful semester) a sweet friend who's been following the blog since it's creation sent me the following email:

Hello Dear!

I just wanted to point out that 1 year ago today, you sent out this email [about your blog], sharing your (very personal) story with us, and I wanted to tell you 2 things.

1. You are so brave for letting all of us in and allowing us a chance to see this side of you that we never knew. You struggle with the same things that lots of us go through, but you are willing to put it out there and share with the rest of us. I wanted you to know how much I appreciate you doing this. Thank you!

2. You have come a long way, Baby! If you go back and read older posts and then read recent posts, your mentality has changed so much. This incredible journey that you are on will lead you in a good direction. You want to know how I know that? You are lead by God and not just selfish-human wants and desires, and that will take you so far in this life.

I love you, Friend.

She's so right, and I can't believe it's taken me 14 months to acknowledge it.

To my sweet friend who remembered even when I had forgotten, I love you. Thank you for your endless support and always appropriate words.

Thanks to all of you who read this and cheer me on, even when I can't cheer myself on.
