So this blog will be my attempt to write a good book. Don't expect it to be fancy. I expect some days I will write hundreds of word while others I will struggle to write one sentence. Some days I may even forget altogether, but this will me my attempt. I will try.
Day one. Page one.
I started the New Year off watching my nieces. What fun people they are; I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year. Ok, that's a lie, I can think of a better way, but the better way wasn't an option in my current life situation, and thus given where I am in life, spending the night with my 2 nieces was the perfect way to start the new year.
Odd as it might sound, I was comforted in not waking up alone in my bed on the morning of the first. Maybe this is a sign of what's to come; maybe 2015 will be the year for a significant other. Maybe not, but each time I find someone I get a little closer to a real relationship! And I am finding people more frequently these days! Hah!!
After breakfast of pancakes with the girls, as is our tradition every time they spend the night, we hung out as we waited for their dad, my brother.
Once the girls were gone, I met Jacob and we went to Kelly's house where we about 5 hours playing Cards Against Humanity. So. Much. Fun. Also, Mix in a little Jameson (whiskey) Sour and Blueberry Vodka with Sierra Mist and you've got yourself a giggly Jessie.
After everyone else left Kelly's house (I promise it wasn't just me, Jacob and Kelly- so many other people were there!) I hung around and chatted with Kelly. It was the best, most real chat we've had in some time. Sometimes its hard for me to articulate my feelings about so many things- but I was able to and that was an amazing feeling.
When I got home, I got to talk with my mom for a bit. Let me just tell you how special mother/daughter talks are as you grow older. They are the best. We talked about friends who are having rough times and lamented to one another about how people don't seem to find the joy in life. Because there is joy in life. In the end, we said something that we always say, because its always been true "I am glad I am me, you are you and we are we."
Its true, I am glad I am me. I like my life. There is something good in every day.
