I always knew that keeping a journal was healthy, but now it's something that's more cathartic than therapeutic. My little snow globe of life was shaken violently starting in May 2008. Up until now the pieces have not settled. Instead, the glass and all of it's contents have shattered. The now misshapen pieces are out of sync and I'm adapting to a new way of existing. I will continue to exist until I understand how to live. I'm going to blog about a series of events that have occurred since May so that I can catch you all up to speed. When the training wheels come off and the growing pains of life occur, then you know you are alive. Someone wrote that being happy was a diseased state of existence, because it meant that you were not dealing with life realistically, that was some sad dude. I'm happy because it's a CHOICE. I choose to be happy and that's why I can be honest in the blogs to come. Welcome to my blog.....

Glad to hear from you Liv's. Glad to see you are home and you are happy. I am happy with you. We got to watch Nacho Libre together and laugh all night and eat popcorn and chicken feet together and talk about good o' times. Miss ya.

Hi Ms. Olivia,
I'm really happy your home and your finally on your way to transitioning to your new life. You always know how to make the best of things and how to inspire people. I hope now that we can all inspire you in your new journey. Richard and I love you very much and you are always in our prayers. I really need to say that I am so grateful to say that to you now and that you are still with us. Love Tina S.
Hi Livis,
You are my HERO!!! The human spirit triumphs not so much by what happens to us but how we respond to the event in our lives. All of us have had tragedies and will continue to face obstacles in our life. You have set for us an example that is beyond words. Your choice to be happy and dare I say content can only be because of the character of your heart and the power of God in you.
I join your other friends and family in thinking and praying for you daily. Can't wait to hear more and visit with you soon.
Ruben L.
