Grateful

You know, the past two weeks have been so good to me. I must be doing something right to be able to be this blessed by the universe. As you probably read, I sat on the floor of the Nuggets/Lakers game. Two nights later I was lucky enough to get invited to a very interesting event. It was a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Put on by everyday folks in a choir, at a church. You read that right. I walked into a church for the first time in 10 years (minus those that housed AA meetings). I sat surrounded by a crowd of good old fashioned church going folks. It was surreal.

Two days later I was granted the best gift I have ever received. I watched a young man get a new heart. The heart is my ruler. I follow my heart always. To be able to hold a young mans heart in my hands and have it beat. I couldn't have been more blessed. At that moment, a calm came over me that was so fabulous. It was as if I had reached a place of serenity. I will strive for that feeling always.

Today I got to spend the day with my mom and sister. How I love them both. The decision to move back to Colorado was never the wrong thing to do. I wanted them to know me as Liz. Not the drunk. Not Liz with a drink in her hand. I wanted to get to know them without the fog of alcohol in my brain. The past three years have been strange and totally wonderful getting to find out what amazing people my mom and sister are. I am so blessed to have them in my life.

I am entirely grateful today. Oh, and the Nuggets are on tonight. Go Nuggets. Oh, and a girl has a crush on me and I think I have a crush right back.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
