It's been forever since my last post, but I'm glad I have that poem to look back on now that my life is on track. I made a difficult choice to drop nursing and change schools. Now, I'm majoring in criminal justice which is much more broad, much less certain, but so much more fun! I'm aceing my classes and still enjoying them, making friends and new beginnings, and I am more proud of myself than I ever have been.
Apparently, happiness is contagious because Hayden is flourishing at his new school. He too is making friends and enjoying himself. We've also become more active together as spring blooms; between bike rides and swimming and long walks at night we've become closer.
I feel happier, healthier, and more hopeful and I'm looking forward to whatever comes next. Here's to new beginnings!
