So I have been reading a bunch of other AA-type blogs and all of them seem to stress focusing outside of yourself, being grateful for things you usually take for granted, and whatnot.
This is extraordinarily hard for me. I grew up learning that you get what you work for, and nothing is handed to you. So I don't really know how to look at the world and say "I'm grateful for..." because somewhere, deep down inside of me, I believe that I earned it.
But here goes...
I am grateful that my dad and all his work buddies are safe (my dad works for the Los Angeles City Fire Department and was dispatched to the fire this past weekend)
I am grateful that my best friend's house is still in the "voluntary evacuation" area, and that his family is safe.
I am grateful that God sent me Nurse Pam the day I was discharged from the hospital, because I don't think I would have been ready to listen to her before that, and I don't think I would've been willing to hear what she had to say if it had come out of anyone else's mouth.
I am grateful for Parker, who has been there for me pretty much every time I've fucked up in the past two years and has always picked me up and put me back on my feet and never judged me when I fell down again.
I am grateful that USC requires all their students to have health insurance.
I am grateful that West Hills Hospital allows visitors to the CCU 24/7.
I am grateful to everyone who took advantage of those visiting hours.
I am grateful to my new roommates, who have treated me family even though I moved in two days ago.
I'm all tapped out. That was my best try.
That picture, which I stole from LATimes.com, was taken about two miles from my house. I live off the Adams exit of the 110.
