It feels good to get back on 43things…this site has become such a huge part of me that I feel just a little happier getting a chance to get back on. I’m still waaaay behind on cheers, comments, and reading people’s entries, but I’m working on catching up. Just being on this site, though, reading some of the entries and comments, and laying eyes on my “things” feels great!! Looove this site and the people on it!

A break for which I was unprepared really made me apreciate this site and view how it really has changed my life for the better. Just because I couldn’t log my process on my “things” or receive encouragement from anybody doesn’t mean that I stopped doing them. I was leaving pennies, working at soccer, reading books on my “must read” list, and trying to be the happiest person that I knew every day.

This site has made me a better person; I really believe that. It has taught me to prioritize what I want to do, encourage people, do things that I never thought possible, learn who I really am underneath it all, smile unconditionally, and I have met some of the most incredible people.

I look forward to years more of blogging on this site, adding to my list, and encouraging/chatting with people whom I have learned to love.
