Smiling because life is grand

Wow yesterday was my two year anniversary at my residential. Two years can you believe it? this is the first time since about the age of five that I have been anywhere longer then a year. I remember last year how terrible everything seemed. Patch reminded me that yesterday was K. and P national cry day. I smiled when I remembered because we came up with the holiday last year on the eighteenth of November because we were both in tears and so we deemed it national cry day.

Yesterday was not at monumental as I thought it was going to be a year ago. the one year mark used to mean bad taboo for me but the two year mark has started off meaning amazing, awesome, best time in your life thus far.

Lets see:

through this year I have lost

L.C
K.V.B
D.P
and
L.M

but as it progressed I gained

M.D

and I was able to keep close to me

A.M
A.
L.D
S.P
J.P
D.M
R.M
and others that are not coming to mind but I am sure there are more.

Life has been good to me this year.

I am the happiest I have been in a very long time. Content, almost.

Here, here to new experiences and another great year.
