No Control: But Ever Thankful

That's how my life feels at the moment. Whether its work, school, or living arrangements my life is zooming by me without even a second glance as to what its leaving behind.

Then there are the aspects of my life that I know I will always be able to count on. God for being the presence in my life that lets me know that I'm not alone. Matthew for being the emotional and physical rock I can lean on when my ground is shaky. Those big hugs do tremendous wonders to a bruised heart and soul. (I don't know what I would have done without your support and love.) My Mom and Dad I especially want to thank for teaching me respect for others, allowing me to make my own choices but letting me know when I've made a wrong one. Also for making sure I was socially and emotionally ready for the huge world that never seems to be fair. My Sister who is the voice I hear when I know a situation needs to be taken cautiously, but is also the voice I hear telling me its time to stop being cautious and time to take action. (Yes Kelly, every one who really knows you, knows that you have a fighters streak in you). To Casey who always tends to know the best way to diffuse a sticky situation. I have always admired your ability to stay calm and look at both sides of a situation. And to Jess, who makes sure that I don't wallow in pity for myself when things aren't going great, and makes sure that I get a healthy dose of embarrassment when I'm with her (and yes I'm talking about you and Matthew's dancing.) And my new roomie Katie for always having a smile on your face and making a dark day seem better. (Just seeing your happy face makes me realize that I could always try a little harder to see the brighter side of things.) And last but not least Alex and Zappa, thanks for being the furry little bundles of joy that you are. I just want to let you guys know that I love you all and appreciate all the different aspects of my life that you've touched.

I have by no means mentioned everyone important to me but I just want to let a few of you that are so special to me know how much I appreciate you.

An Ever Thankful,
Kasey
