There are moments now and then where I pause throughout the day. They aren't planned and, more often than not, are a surprise to me. They can strike while I am at work, at home, or on the train. That last place there: that is where I am now and where I was just caught with one.

I am thankful and grateful for my life as it is right now. It's not perfect. But I realize it doesn't have to be. I have worked hard and struggled to be self-sufficient and make a life for myself. Mission accomplished. There is no end-game. There is no demarcation of success. My personal victories have been worth celebrating throughout my life. I am a composite of good and bad. Pretty and ugly. Lucky and unlucky. But I am glad life isn't "fair." Because if I had as much bad happen to me as good, I would be much worse off.
