Well, I'm taking a few days off of work to spend with my sweet girlfriend, who is recuperating nicely after some pretty major surgery. It's strange how normal our relationship has become and how everyone pretty much accepts that we are together. I have had so many calls and texts asking how she is doing, as well as those who run into me at work. I remember a time not so long ago when I couldn't have imagined being comfortable with people knowing so much about me. I am truly blessed. How could I have stumbled into all this so blindly? I don't know, but I am thankful I let myself be open to it, and thankful I was brave enough to give it a chance. Mostly, I'm thankful that she saw something in me that I hadn't seen in myself. Life is good.
