Diet

For the first time in my life I'm going on a diet-- an actual healthy diet. So far it's working and I'm feeling better (in general and about myself).

What prompted this was that I'm in a wedding in May ( a friend's not mine), I'm going to a another wedding in October (a friend I've known since I was eight years old) and I'm getting married a year from now.

Dave is being very supportive -- he told me that he loves me the way I am. He also told me that he wants me to be happy with myself.

slowly, day by day, I'm getting there.

Thank You

Have I said thank you to you lately? If not, thank you. Thank you for asking if I'm ok after having been in a car accident. Thank you for the dozen roses on Valentine's Day. Thank you for making dinner when I don't feel like it.

For listening to me when I don't even want to listen to myself. For caring about what I do; what I write.

Thank you for posting comments on my blog. Thank you for working hard to help me reach my goals-- for giving me books about how to become a better writer, for filing early. Thank you for a million things.

It's such a small phrase but I heard it today and it made me feel better. So thank you.

Car accident

It's scary being in a car accident for the first time. And today, it was my first time. Pulling out of a mall parking lot I got hit from the side. It happened so fast. I didn't see the car until after she hit me.

I called David after the cops had come and I had exchanged my information with the woman also involved. He came and I broke down. He didn't.

I'm so glad I have him to keep me from pulling my hair out -- Imagine if I had had to drive myself home.

I am truly lucky to have the people in my life who are willing to help me through things like this.
