Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

This, or a very similar question, was asked not that long ago. I’m not answering it again. πŸ˜†

instead, I will take a moment to express gratitude to those who have helped or inspired me on this journey called Life.

Family: My family (most of them) has always been there for me. Even when I knew better and screwed up, sure, they might have been mad or frustrated with me, but they never lorded it over me or made me feel like less of a person. They love me for who I am and appreciate me as a good person.

Friends: My friends, of which there are only a few close ones, were always there to pick me up or kick me in the ass. Whichever was needed at the time, they delivered. I try to do the same for them whenever I can.

The WP Community: There are so many of you out there who inspire and motivate me with not only your kind words and appreciation, but with your own writings as well. When I started this blog, I was in a not so good place. I was rebuilding after nearly destroying myself. I wanted to help not only me, but others as well. Truth be told, I think all of you have helped me far more than I ever could you. You acceptance has meant far, far more to me than you will ever know. Thank you.

While I have my days where I sometimes wonder what the freaking point of going on is, even then, I am grateful for the blessings I have received and all the wonderful souls who’ve crossed my path.

I hope in some small way I am worthy of such blessings.

Peace, all. ✌️

    Although I have not mentioned it for some time on my blog, there are times still where I struggle and wonder what’s the point. But just taking it each day as it comes is the only way to keep going.
