Things have DEFINITELY been put in perspective.

Hey everyone! it's nice to be back and get back at this! To keep you up to speed I was in a car accident in the middle of December. I hit black ice. Got rear-ended and pushed into a corn field. After all that I ended up in the hospital and then some. Incurred some very serious and some not as serious injuries in the process. But thankfully I made it to see my birthday in January in the scheme of things. The only good thing of the whole ugly process is I'm having a great recovery here at St. Mary's....the littlest things make my day anymore...and I appreciate life like whoa now. Through all this too, you find out who your true friends and family really are, I thank God everyday for the amazing people in my life. I'm doing really well and can't wait till tomorrow to get back to home, get to truely thanking everyone for all the positive words and thoughts in my favor. Not to mention I can't wait to get back to my version of normal life and life in the Finger Lakes.

Things such as sleeping in your own bed, having your family close by, and hearing your family laugh and tease you are the things now I look at and laugh and love more than anything. I'm also thankful I haven't lost personality at all in the wake of a brain injury. Also that I fractured bones and that I'm still functioning and doing beautifully at rehab is a great feat in my eyes.

Now the next step! Getting a job is key! I can function and with a little work my little injuries still left will heal in no time. My determination and my family's has been a huuuge part of healing. If there's anything that I believe after hearing it over and over at the hospital....this "girl's got angel's on both shoulders" and "this girl is destined for greatness!"

Bring it on world!! Cuz life's too short and I'm not wasting onnne more minute!!
