thank you please

At my mom’s today I came across a stack of journals from right before, during, and right after my accident. As I read through everything, I started wondering if I’d find THE moment I decided to make “be grateful” cards as Christmas gifts that year.

It says:
10.9.07

Lauren’s due date was today. I should call her.

I’ve been trying to figure out what to give everyone for Christmas.

I want it to also be a “thank you for being there” and a “let’s ALL learn from my mistake” present.

I want to draw/write something having to do with gratitude.

I was thinking of drawing “I’m grateful for you” and somehow photoshop it on a picture of me and the person.

But there wouldn’t be enough meaning in that.

I’m grateful for you.

Hopefully I come up with something. I can NOT stay up all night tonight.

Love, me.

I love being able to go back to the beginning like this, and to remember that all I’ve really wanted to say is – thank you.
