The House of ME
I have decided that I am building a new house. The house of ME. The foundation on my old house crumbled and sent bricks a flyin' on June 17, 2009. More cracks appeared on December 15 and December 25, 2009. I tried to save some bricks to rebuild the foundation only to have them break on December 19, 2011. I still have some bricks left, but I need to get new stronger bricks to build my house.
The older bricks are parts of me that I dont want to lose. A brick for my sense of humor. A brick for my integrity. A brick for my creativity. A brick for my memories.
The new bricks I need are for the ME that I intend to be. A brick for courage. A brick for strength. A brick for will power. A brick for motivation. A brick for joy and happiness. A brick for confidence.
As I find these new bricks I will place them with my old bricks and rebuild my house. With a solid foundation, brick by brick. It will not crack or break. It will be a foundation of past and future. My house will become a home. My house will be ME.

I love this! I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights, so here it is 2:24 AM my time and I signed back onto WV to check things out (even though I had been on earlier this evening). This describes me to a tee. I just passed the one-year anniversary and I've been thinking a lot about the life I want to build for myself now. For the last year, I've been focused on surviving and getting through each milestone as well as I could. Now it's time to look to the future. A brick at a time!
