11/13: Last Sunday I had the pleasure of going hiking and really really really loving this land Driving and going to new places here is one of the best ways I've found to reinvigorate myself. I feel generally pretty good these days. It's the best feeling in the world to feel wanted and accepted and part of a cool crowd, that sounds so shallow but I don't care I love the girls I've met here. It's been interesting for me, a learning experience to become friendly with other people who aren't my oldest friends. I've had to watch my step in some places. But one thing living here has taught me is how open minded some people are even if they have pretty rigid beliefs themselves. It's taught me a lot about myself and how to be a little more accepting and tolerant and that I should pay attention to what I'm saying to whom. Generally it gives me hope.
11/24: Although I feel like I'm in limbo and the dark circles around my eyes have suddenly reappeared (a sign of the end of my cycle colliding with stress) my back which I threw out of whack last Sunday night, is finally back to normal. There is no reason to get anxious until there is a reason to get anxious, and right now we just don't know. The power of positive energy and the willingness to give has really made the biggest difference to me this past week. There's something to be said for voodoo and generosity. 'Tis the season for giving and for being grateful. I'm grateful for so many things and so many people. I'm a very blessed person and I try to give thanks for it everyday, even if it's just a private expression to myself.
