Days 214-220: Exit 168B

I know I've been absent from gratitude for a while, and I never really planned for that. I left Hot Springs and drove across the country (with my parents and the dogs) to Seattle (well, Kirkland). For those of you who follow my on Twitter, you witnessed my gratitude in 140 character bursts, quick lists of love. But I meant to get back in the practice once my feet were in the Homeland. Let's just say I've been busy... But I think this is my most grateful week yet.

I'm back in Seattle. My home. Where my heart is and where my life is. I'm only days away from reunions with friends, and I've gotten to spend some good time with my extended family. But most of my gratitude is because of him.

After five months apart, I finally got to see P on Friday night. And it's been amazing ever since. Most anyone who knows me (or has even just met me) knows I don't fall for people. I don't like getting attached or getting hurt. And since no one's ever been worth it, I've never really bothered. But I couldn't be happier that I did this time. I'm pretty confident that this is the happiest I've ever been.

I'm not going to list all of my gratitude for the past days, mostly because it would be completely repetitive. Instead, I'll offer the gratitude that has recurred the most since I packed up from Hot Springs.

I am beyond grateful for:
*being in Seattle.
*having this chance to see friends.
*getting to be with him.
*falling in love.
*my amazing family.
