As I look over the last week, I am humbled by a great many blessings which have fallen into my life. This has been a week that was an emotional one for me. I marked fourteen years since my coming out to my family and also have welcomed someone very special into my life. Today, Birmingham saw something very rare for us—snow. What a week.
I’m grateful for the support of dear friends this week. I’m most grateful for the forgiveness of friends against whom I have trespassed. I often speak without thinking, and often hurt those I love the most without intention. I’m grateful for Trent’s guidance and friendship. I’d be completely lost without his wisdom as my guide.
I’m grateful for the new friendship which is beginning with Wynn. He and I have become very close in the last few days. We are uncertain what the future will hold, but the possibilities seem endless. I’m grateful for hope, newness, and joy of a new tomorrow.
Here’s my confession: I’m grateful for the many good things in my life. I’m grateful for where my journey has taken me. I’m grateful for the people who have guided me along this journey, for the confidence I’ve found within myself, and just how far I’ve come. Deep down, I suppose, I’m the same guy I’ve always been, but there’s something different. I’m ready to live again. I’m ready to like again, and well, I think I’m ready to begin writing a new chapter of my life.
