news

whether its good or bad everyone gets news on a daily basis. today i got a little bit of both. i will start with the bad news first...i found out that my grandpa's cancer is back and in a bunch of different places all over his body. the doctors are saying that they caught it in time so that they can do the treatments that they need to do and it will be gone. with any luck he will get through this round of treatment just like he did last time, so im keeping my fingers crossed. as for the good news...i get to stay home all by myself this weekend. i will finally get a weekend to myself to do whatever i want to do without constantly being under my parent's thumbs. not that im going to do anything that they would not approve of, but i need a break from my family. i mean, dont get me wrong, i love my family; however, i just need some time to myself. i didnt get to go away for college like almost everyone else my age because i was trying to save money so i always enjoy the little breaks that i get. i like waking up whenever i want (and not being woken up by yelling or someone talking loudly), and going to bed whenever i want...i essentially have to answer to no one all weekend. so, no matter what news you get (whether its good or bad) just face it head on and try to look at it with a positive perspective because the first step to a happy life is happy thoughts.

oh wow :)

well so far so good. i REALLY dont want to jinx anything this early but i do think that things are going great! i have been having such a great time with one of the funniest people i have ever met. the newness is not wearing off, the sweetness just keeps getting sweeter, and the fun times just keep getting more fun. i am really glad that i am finally back on top of things. i am doing well in school again, i am getting more sleep, and for the most part my relationships are improving with almost everyone. i have spent a ton of time with my best friend (and when we hang out it's always a blast!) and i am planning on seeing my family members this weekend that i havent seen in like months...so im pretty much back on top and feel like i can take on the world. rarely do i think of what could have been had things happened differently because now i try to focus more on how i can make the present better to make an even greater future. im in it for the long haul and just hopin for the best :) oh i LOVE when life works out!!!
