November 2022 High/Low

                                                                 Things are not one dimension

The first 3 days of November usher in an emotional floodgates which was saved by a girls trip to Boston, MA. I thank God for the Boston Trip and for the wonderful women I got a chance to spend 48 hours with. I needed it. I needed to be a tourist for a day. I needed to be seated next to a nice dean of engineering on my way to catch my connecting flight to Boston. 

Once I came back home to the good ol’ Queen City and the reality of my life kicked me in the face. Seasonal depression also arrived. But in those moments of desperation, God showed me that He loved me through the love of my siblings and my best-friend. There’s no doubt in my mind that I’m loved. Even now. 

The second of November was spent working on dream projects, working, running, and going to the movies with Doc Lucy and Patricia. I needed those moments with them. Also, reaching out for help with a professional to help with my depression. 

I was able to accomplish a dream of mine on Nov 20th. I officially got confirmed into the Catholic Church. I’ve been attending Mass since I was 18 and now at 34. Now, I am officially a member. It was an amazing day. To be surrounded by love while I joined the church that has provided me solace and peace for years. I was at peace. 

Thanksgiving week started off with gut wrenching news. My amazing, strong and beautiful friend D has been hospitalized and her cancer has returned. Why? Why her? She has so much to see, feel, travel and experience. She is genuinely good. From the inside out. 

Thanksgiving day was spent walking at the park and hanging out with my family. In the end, family is all that matters.
