Day one of my 365 day book

I'm waking up in Helena for the last time for this vacation at least and I'll fall into bed sometime around 10:30 Oklahoma time tonight.  I will be so happy to see Sookie and Mr. Darcy and sleep in my very own comfy bed.  Montana is painfully beautiful, I actually got a little misty when I drove up to Great Falls for the night as the Missouri River winds its way through the canyon.  I will always be welcome here but I did what I came to do, celebrate the holidays and get closure on a relationship from another time.  I am no longer who I was and I am always trying to make sure to be better than I was the day before and am learning the lessons I can glean so hopefully I can move on from that and not have to learn that particular lesson again in the future.  I met Eric and Ali and I hope I never lose touch with them because they've touched my heart and life and I do really love them.  I said goodbye to an old friend and we part company in peace and understanding.  2013 was all about hard lessons and accepting situations for what they are, not how I wished they were at the time, and learning that I am grateful God says no to some of my prayers.  I am thankful  and grateful for my beautiful apartment an my cool job and the 5% raise that goes into affect today!  I have no idea what the future holds going into my 40th year of life or where I'll wake up on the dawn of 01/01/15, but I have faith and believe that it'll be one heck of a journey! Stick around it's just keeps getting better.
