Okay, I set this blog up like 5 months ago & never did anything about it. I have great aspirations for joining everyone else on the planet by blogging, but procrastination is truly an art form to which I’m becoming too acquainted lately. Not to mention the fact that I think everything I write is either:
a) lame,
b) a colossal waste of time seeing as how no one will be even remotely interested in reading the crap I write, or
c) I’m scared as hell at putting myself out there.
But, I’ve always loved diving into the deep end rather than sticking my toe in the baby pool. So here goes…
I’m really excited about my life right now. And for those of you that know me, you know its been a long couple of years. You also know its about freakin’ time I enjoy God’s blessings of allowing me to see past Nigeria and towards a great future. To say that I’m blessed to be back in school is clearly an understatement. It feels so good to know what you want to do in life & have the opportunity to start over. In a year from December I will graduate and can start the next chapter in my life. Hopefully somewhere in Georgia - God, I would love to live in Athens again & work on my master’s in public health eventually. If not, Atlanta would be a dream as well.
I’m also blessed to be at home around old friends & people who love me & want the best for me. No question, I appreciate their support & enouragement more than I can express in words. My social life is sparatic at best, but school has to come first for me & I’m thankful everyone around me gets that.
Above all, I’m immensely thankful that I’ve finally come to the place where I can meet & get to know someone new. That I can see myself happy in the future & not feel guilty for living without David. Two years ago, I thought there would never come a day when I could ever be in a relationship again or that I could allow myself that blessing. I have absolutely no timetables & I’m not expecting cupid to hit me with an arrow tomorrow or any time soon for that matter. But, it feels wonderful to allow possibilities to enter my life, instead of ignoring the knocks at the door. To that end, I’ve been talking with a great guy & I’m having fun flirting and just getting to know him gradually.
Whatever happens in my life, it just feels so good to breathe again.
Anyways, I’m so thankful and grateful for a second chance at life & looking so forward to seeing what lies around the bend.
