Release

I see the changes, I see the improvements.
I refuse to let go of them.
I would be lying, though, if I said I wasn't looking forward to the day when what I see as steps forward today become habit, rather than struggles coming to an end.
I ask myself why I'm angry, why I'm upset- and I can narrow it down, honestly, and figure out how to overcome it. That is an incredible feeling, one stemming from something I really didn't know I'd need to figure out how to do.
Tomorrow is Monday again, and the beginning of the week I will see a new chain of command, and a new rank on my uniform.
Today and yesterday were emotional days for me, but that's okay, it was the weekend, and that's allowed when I'm not at work.
I've made a friend here in country- if farther north than I'd like- that I hope I don't lose or lose touch with. I am already seeing why God brought him into my life, and I am grateful. Trevor, thank you for helping me keep my focus this weekend. You are a blessing.
The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces...
But I'm not out of gas, so there's no reason to park here.
I'll keep my head up this week, the mean people will not win.
Beth H, if you're reading this, I'm thinking about you. You're an inspiration to me, and this is not the end of you. I love ya girl, and I'm proud of you!
