The Ties that Bind

Graduation is over.  I start work in a week and all of my fears, worries, and regrets have subsided to the point that not one negative thought has entered my mind in three weeks.... It's a strange feeling to have everything fall perfectly into place in a matter of days, but you won't hear any complaints from me.  As I expressed in my last post, I am staying in Atlanta but I'm incredibly happy with my decision based on many things that happened in the past month.

Last week, my family traveled from all over the country to watch me take my next steps into a new life: California, Texas, Arkansas, and Colorado just to know name a few. One evening after the graduation ceremony we gathered in my living room and spontaneously broke out in dancing, singing, and laughter.  My 92-year-old grandmother even jumped in with some classic disco moves.  In that moment I realized that I really was the luckiest girl in the world.  This group of people can find the joy in the smallest things and whenever we are together whatever worries I have unceremoniously fall away.  I can't express how very thankful I am for each and every one of them or fathom what I would do without them.  

Although we are separated by hundreds of miles, I know that we would go or do anything for each other and even if things don't work out as planned I will have an infinite amount of hands to catch me if I fall.   And for that reason, I am so incredibly blessed.

Love,
Your Blessed 20-Something
