This morning I seen sunshine for the first time in 2 months of this long , painful winter… yet looking at the blue sky i felt like throwing on my bikini and basking in the beauty of nature… then remembering that i pretty much live in the north pole when it comes to the comparison of Newfoundland temperature to LA… temp today… -26. Ohh don’t I just want to climb the rocky mountains and lay on a fresh patch of grass right now…dang.
I look at diabetes and the healthy lifestyle I have created, for whatever burden it has given me as a true gift. My boyfriend of 6 years has lived in a broken home all of his life with a single alcoholic mother who smokes and gambles her money away… a sister who died of swelling of the brain years ago. He is 23; Yet with the little he has …he plays the most soulful, beautiful music… he is currently living away form me… working three jobs trying to pay his tuition so he can go to music school and live his ambition to be a classical/ jazz musician. Despite whatever poverty he may have he still has so much passion and will to do something for this world, he manages to keep such a brilliant, optimistic attitude.
It is our 6th year today. …my favorite movie of all time is Breakfast at tiffanys… you wouldn’t even believe my infatuous love for that movie.
This evening I opened my apartment door and ran up to my bedroom - on my bed I did not find a diamond necklace, a dozen roses, a card or a nice perfume; instead, on one side was a small porcelain wind up doll of Audrey Hepburn, the other was the man I haven’t seen in months, playing moon river on his guitar, and singing to me.
through whatever hard times we share in this life… moments like these make me feel so truly blessed to be breathing.
