blessed.

I am so blessed.

This week has straight from Hell. Guaranteed.

However.

I have been so blessed in this week.

Countless people have offered encouragement, stopped me on the sidewalk and gave me a hug, brought me chocolate to stay awake, gave me notes of encouragement, helped me study, helped me with homework, and have in general just lifted me up out of this Hell.

It has been amazing to know and to see in very tangible ways that I am loved beyond measure, beyond my failures, beyond my struggles, beyond my stress.

I am so thankful for all the gifts and notes and words of encouragement!

I saw a real glimpse of community... just as I was thinking it may be impossible to achieve... I was proven wrong. We can live in such a manner where love drives our interactions. I feel privileged to be in near the center of those efforts... I only hope that I can pay this love and compassion forward.

much love to you on this beautiful morning.
