My word for the day

Excited.

I'm excited because:

I made it to church this morning (this is HUGE victory for me)

My friend, Rachel is here. (She's so much fun)

I know how to drive a car (finally!)

I might be able to get a job, soon. (my first job and a real paycheck that I worked for? Yes, please!)

I've gone out almost every day this week. (And had the energy to do everything I wanted to do.)

My little sister graduated and is working at a camp all summer so I will have the room to myself (for the first time in my life since I can remember, I will have my own room!)

I feel (dare I say it?) better!

Life is good.... not too bad right now and I'm excited for what lies ahead. Yeah, sure I still worry about my health (and probably always will), still wonder when the other shoe is gonna drop, still wait for a *bad* day or the next time I don't feel well. But I'm at the point now where I can move forward and take the next steps. I can start making plans and actually see them happen.

It's good to be excited. :-)
