like for instance, reconnecting with a dearly loved friend. in person. miss chelsea allen was in town and i cannot describe to you how wonderfully peaceful and inspiring and just all around beautiful it was to be with her. there is just something about the people that you have served with, and particularly the ones i've served at bosch with, that just transcends everything. the connection is so much deeper and so pure and beautiful. i may not see them very often or even be able to tell you basic things about their lives, but there is nothing i wouldn't do for them. our souls are friends.
there is also the matter of two of my favorite people ever. time spent with diane and elyse is never without laughter. these two were my rock during some of the most difficult times of my life, both academically and personally. i love that we all became friends with each other independently, that people can never understand how we're all such close friends, and how much our friendship has grown over the last three years. they've always pushed and encouraged me, and i am a better person because of them. and a much happier one.
thanksgiving was also so wonderful. a table full of amazingly delicious food and my family. this year has blessed us with two new family members and although i have yet to meet one of the babies, the one i have met has warmed our hearts in just a few short months.
last week something special happened that pretty much served as a reminder and a sign that i'm pursuing the right path. and last night i got some good news. so right now, although the last few weeks have been wearing me out, i couldn't be happier. the right things are happening and i'm learning a lot along the way.

chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
oh you had it but oh no you lost it
looking back you shouldn't have fought it'
