Lighter loads

Things already feel better. Annie summed it up the other day - I think about things too much and then they become bigger than they really are. They become heavier than they really are.

I'm not very good at taking responsibility for my actions. Sometimes I overthink things to the point where I want to (or just do) cry. They become thoughts that wear me thin and dry me out. But recently I have been so refreshed by friends; people who speak so honestly to me and who really, really push me forward to be more like Christ. I am so thankful for them. I think I'd forgotten how thankful I am for them.

So today's been a productive day. And that always makes me happy and makes me work harder.

I am glad to be alive.
