The Littlest Things

So not like it's real news or anything but in my life it's a pretty big deal. Since I got a driving clearance Dad took me out and about the other day. It was a strange feeling to not have other people driving Miss Daisy. lol On the same hand though it was amazing to be behind the wheel again and feel like I'm getting my life back on step at a time. Dad even told me to drive down Ridge Road right where I had my accident. I only had one minute where I was like...inhale....wierd being on this road and behind a wheel again. Dad made the situation so awesome. He looked at me and said "Jess. It's just a road, and it's just a corn field." I swear that man is a gift from God. Both my parents have been. I've always had a great relationship with my parents but the tie between my Dad and I is now like titanium. He's been amazing about talking to me about everything lately. Anything I want to ask him is out in the open. No holds bar. A very personal emotional conversation about his past even came up on that drive the other day. Meg Fenton put it great and told Phil this. "Jess has the kind of relationship with her Dad that every girl is jealous of." Not a day goes by now that I don't recognize my parents strength, and compassion for me and other people.

My best friend...who I call Beaner. lol Her real name is Jenny, but that just sounds weird. Looked at me when we took a trip to Ithaca the other day, that it's the littlest things that make my day anymore. It totally is. Appreciation and perspective man. Something to be said for it. The little things will continue to move me. Yesterday writing a thank you to everyone from EMT, police, first responders and more made me cry. Mom said it was cathartic. It made my accident less like a bad dream and more real everyday.

On a lighter note. All my thank you cards are done! Woohoo! Thanks to everyone who helped us out with the JR fundraiser at Fox Run and more got their official thank yous. Penn Yan Ambulance, Yates County Sheriff, Geneva General, and Mercy Flight all got their thank yous too. I should put out a thank you on here to everyone who listened, supoorted, and sent love my way and my family's way during that entire process. It meant a lot.

Now the mission for the time being with all that thank you card writing not hanging over my head, is to get a full time marketing job and a car. Preferably the job first then the car so I can get a decent loan for a car. lol Until then I'll just keep looking at the inside of my house like I have been doing for weeks and maybe go to Fox Run Vineyards winter tasting tonight at 7:30. Maybe include sips of that delicious vino. Especially (hopefully) some of those killer 2007 reds.

Cheers to the little things!
