Come on God, Do I Seem Bulletproof?

Oddly enough, I could relate to that line from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song ("Fortune Faded") for a lot longer than I care to admit. It was like everything that could have gone wrong, did.

And even though I'm so busy now I hardly have time to have a life (though I wouldn't know what to do with that time if I *DID* have it), I am still so grateful for everything I do have. Even when things get stressful and messy, I can endure it even if I'm clearly getting frazzled. And I won't lie, this job's had me frazzled a time or two. But what job doesn't?

But it's not every day. I'm not driven to the point where I feel I have to use the Employee Assistance Program to see a shrink anymore. I'm not constantly being told I can't do anything right (quite the opposite right now, actually, I feel like I have to remind people I can't do everything...). There's at least a slim chance my wedding plans can be salvaged, versus the hopelessness I felt surrounded by just three months ago. My family issues, while not ideal, have reached the point of stability.

I guess I just want to give praise tonight that dark times do have a light at the end of the tunnel.
