Finally Me

Saturday, June 26, 2004

I woke before my alarm went off today. I did not reset it for a later time. I did not go back to sleep. I did not want to call in sick, as I have contemplated doing almost every other Saturday. Instead, I laid in the warm rays of sun streaming in my window. I laid there and let thoughts run, like a river, through my head. I felt happy this morning, and it scared me when I realized how long it had been since I felt that, since I felt okay about life. I've missed that.
