New Found Appreciation For The Roller Coaster - Day 308

In the past I was afraid. No more. Now I am exhilarated.

My life the last year has been one long, scary ride with breathtaking highs, stomach turning lows and a few upside down loops thrown in along the way. I have cried. I have laughed. I have screamed to make it stop.

No more. Today I had one of those "AH HA" moments. Why not embrace the ride? For all the joy and pain...at least, I feel. I am alive. I am putting myself out there. I am making mistakes. I am accomplishing things. I am growing (in EVERY way). The good times are relished. The bad times learned from. This is the way life was meant to be...one hell of a scintillating ride!

Last night I baked a "weird" cookie in honor of my brother's birthday. I called it "Nutterly Deminted" - a dark chocolate cookie base with chopped Andes mints, bittersweet chocolate chips and toasted pecans. It was quite nutty and deminted...just like my goofy brother.

Happy Birthday Michael! I hope you will join me for the ride. Don't be afraid. It will be fun.

Many hugs and WHEEEEEEEEE moments,

Kathy
