2011 and a list

new years seriously did not start off on a good foot.

~i blew my tire.
~took 1 1/2 hours to fix it in -10 temps. (my cousin Craig rescued me. love him)
~then when i set off for home i got maybe 2 blocks and my heater went out.
~spent the next couple hours freezing and crying while driving 40 mph.
~feet were so cold i thought i was going to lose them.
~and to top it off i missed coop so bad it hurt worse then my frozen feet.

But then as I was waiting there for my brother to come rescue me from the cold, I began to realize that while a lot of things went terribly wrong, i was so blessed.

~i had family to help me change my tire.
~i had a car to get me as far as i did.
~and i had a brother to come switch me cars 30 miles from home.

i am blessed.

my life had been a wonderfully beautiful bumpy road.

i have been so nervous and all about what to do with my unsure future that i have failed to see how blessed i am to live in such a wonderful place.

i'm tired of holding myself back.
