Bittersweet

I had my second job interview today and it went really well.  So well in fact that within two hours the catering company called me back and offered me the job.  I was riding the bus on the way home from the interview when I got an email from a friend that a mutual good friend of ours passed away last night in a car accident.  All I can think of right now is that I need to count my blessings, every one of them.  I look back on these last few weeks and all my gripes about not having a job, not having money, not being stimulated enough and it's so incredibly trivial and ridiculous in the grand scheme of things.  I have an amazing family, my health, strong friendships and a partner in life that loves me for who I am and despite all my anal idiosyncricies and hard-headedness.  I am so blessed.

Sending love, prayers and strength to A. today.  Some of my fondest memories living in Amelia Island include you and G.  He will be missed so much.
