Five things.
I'll get right to it.
1. Butterflies. Flutterbies. Whatever you choose to call them. They've been fluttering all about for the past few months, all subtle, quiet reminders to me that my transformation is ever happening and ever beautiful. They whisper the promise of good things to come, and the reminder that every moment has it's beauty. See it, before it's gone to make way for another.
2. Friends. I met an online friend on Friday and knew immediately I had another kindred spirit from which to learn and grow. As I purge and clean my "house"...I am learning that I've also learned how to appreciate and spot true beautiful spirits in this world.
3. A sister that is truly a friend. I hear so many tales of dysfunction and woe, some of which might have been written by my own hand. One thing I know I have, is the love and friendship of a sister. Though 11 years apart in age, and miles apart in space, we could be no closer in love. She gives me a reason to laugh every day we're alive.
4. I am grateful for the beauty of words. To teach us, to record lessons for times when we're more inclined to appreciate then. I am grateful for the love of them, as it provides me peace in darkness.
5. Professional freedom. Every job has it's challenges. I have been afforded in every position I've ever held, all of the things I've actively pursued. And at this point in my career, I am grateful that I have professional autonomy, freedom to create my own expectations and the opportunity to begin building my next chapter in life without the stress of a job I hate.
