March First

 It's March first, the beginning of a month, or your whole life, you decide!
I woke up this morning feeling motivated, and excited to see where life takes us! Maybe the playlist in my headphones is partially the cause. Music is magical.
I've got work in a few hours, and although it's going to be a long day I think it'll be a great one!
     Today I read a meme that was explaining someones life dreams, and I realized those used to be my dreams too. I have actually been able to make those dreams come true. I remember six years ago I was living on other people's couches. I was so close to homelessness. I pushed myself to give up on drinking when it was my safety net. I worked at a less than great job and earned an awesome reference for the next job. Stayed there a few years and then found a job I love. I Took terrible credit and turned it around by making payments toward my student loans. I started seeing my life full of possibilities. We made it our two year goal to buy a home, six months later we bought this house. I love it, it feels like home. The house needs work of course, but it brings us together as we learn to repair small things ourselves. We make lists and check them off as we go. We spend our extra time making music, and this home feels conducive to our separate projects as well as the ones we do together. It's a great day to be thankful for what we have accomplished. We can push to continue to conquer more dreams but today lets really honor the fact that we have battled so many of our own mini wars and here we stand strong! You inspire me! I don't think my friends know it but they all inspire me often. I look to them and what they are doing in their own lives how strong they are and it makes me want to be strong with them as well. "Courage is a mastery of fear, not absence of fear." Mark Twain was correct with that one. 
 How are things for you? What mountain did you climb in your own life?
