What would valentine's day be without family....

"The worst day of life life my life what do you think?"- Napoleon Dynamite

So the random quote comes from a valentines day card I got from my sister. It is one of those talking cards and it made me laugh so hard that I sat at my desk for a good ten minutes opening and closing it just laughing.

Now (you/y'all/no one) depending on who reads this blog might be thinking WTF bill, what has a silly valentines day have to do with all the insanely overly thought slightly depressing blog posts of the past?

Well thanks to a tip from a friendly Canadian blog reader I was persuaded to think that my blog should be a collage of me if you will. Rather then posting only when my life seems out of sorts and I am caught in some philosophical mess, I should also post when life feels good, when the sun is shining, I come to school happy and all I want to do is run around screaming life is good!

Today is one of those days, and looking at the card from my sister on my desk made me think about that. I am ridiculously blessed. There is a lot of things that dont make sense to me. There are many days I wonder WTF is my purpose here, it has to be more then this. But you know what, when I think back to moments I have had with my family and my friends EVERYTHING makes sense. I have amazing parents, awesome siblings, loving/funny/caring/ grandparents, an amazing god mother who is like a mom and best friend all in one to me, fantastic aunts, cool uncles....I dont want to brag but I am blessed. My friends I wouldn' t trade for the world, they keep me grounded, keep me afloat and each have qualities in them that I wish I had in myself. Most of all though they are loyal, and real.

So yeah. I am sure this is far from the end of my philosophical where do I fit musings, but this is also the beginning of recognizing that amidst the turmoil, sadness and confusion my life is filled with amazing people, and spectacular moments where I feel so incredibly lucky to be alive! Today is one of those days....
