I'm grateful for my pdoc, who is brilliant and who cares about me. I'm grateful for my T, who is totally willing to admit that he made a mistake and who genuinely listens and *hears* me. I'm grateful for my husband and daughter--who may not get it, but who support me in all of my decisions.

I am grateful for him. He doesn't know it, but each day he listens to me and shows how much he cares is a day he saves my life. He has done more for me than I ever thought he would, even if I don't always like his choices.

I am grateful for all the people I love most. They are everything to me.

I am grateful for that SI looks less appealing every day that I stay away.
I am grateful for M1, who does her absolute best to understand me, even when not even I can.
I am grateful for A, who somehow knows exactly how to make me feel better, and usually smile.

I'm grateful for my frend Ellis, she knows everything, yet still sticks by me, I don't no where I would be if her sholder wasen't there to cry on some nights.
Thanks for being there.
And it's those who are there, but don't notice it, that make the biggest difference.

i'm really grateful for a friend who offered to store my belongings as well as help me move. i will only need the storage if i have to live in temporary accomodation so it's good that i don't have to worry as much about it.

We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving… We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins… We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything." - Courtney Martin.

I'm grateful for my friends, that they support me in ways I don't know how to support them... I'm grateful they give me trust so I can learn.
