I'm glad that I have a mom who adored me and made me feel the world was a safe and good place. Also, that she made sure I know it isn't always. She taught me everything she could and, in many ways, is exactly the yin to my yang. I still look back on things she tried to teach me and wish I'd have learned them better and sooner.
I love having a dad that makes me feel loved and thinks enough like I do to help me make sense of things that are bothering me. Even when we don't think alike, we can always have a productive conversation about the way the world works. It's fun to "geek out" with him once in a while, now that I can just understand the tip of the iceberg in terms of what he works on. lol It's also fun to talk food and nutrition now that that's something we're both interested in.
I'm grateful for brothers who make me laugh and who are usually very caring to me—except when they're punks. But even then, they're pretty great. They're my best friends.
I feel so lucky to have such a great spouse. While some of my cohorts were dreaming of their future weddings, I thought of what I wanted my future marriage to be like. What I've got is pretty damn close! I didn't expect to get so close, actually. J is exactly what I need in a partner. I also didn't expect for him to help me feel so empowered. Like I really can change the world for the better. Sometimes I'm afraid it's too good and that I need to enjoy it while it lasts. . . I plan to! Even if I continue to be fortunate and it lasts a really long time (as I hope it does!). :)
