A Legal Alien

It's days like today that make me realise how completely blessed I am.

I have awesome parents who support me in living here and take care of all my State-side business.

I have great friends who laugh with me, support me when I'm down, reassure me that I'm doing the right thing, hold me accountable when I don't, call me to talk, and even though I'm 5800 miles from home, they still remember me. They tell me when I've split my jeans and instead of laughing, rush to make sure I'm ok. They send me birthday gifts when no one else did. They remind me that I'm the lucky one who got away from Mr. WRONG, even when he said he was sorry.

I have the most amazing man who simply understands everything about me. I don't have to explain anything or justify or worry that he's going to just walk out the door. He cherishes me, laughs with me, supports my schoolwork, reads my papers when I need another eye, challenges me to think outside what I normally think about. He doesn't judge my past and can laugh about the antics of my previous boyfriends. He calls me to say hi and loves it when I email him. He makes me feel like I'm the most awesome woman in the world and when I'm with him, I feel like I am. He has integrity and isn't put out by being with me. He gladly takes on the 'hassle' of being with me.

This is the way life is supposed to be. It's not difficult or painful, not dramatic or irrational. It's just normal, peaceful, calm, completely comforting in every way.

Thank you God for the blessings I don't deserve, for the peace that surrounds my life, for blowing away the chaff, for providing the right people at the right time. I don't know why or how, I don't know why now is the best time of my life but thank you.
