This week has been a good one for me and has left me feeling very inspired and excited for things to come. There are two really positive things in my life right now and I couldn’t choose between them, so I’m including both in this post. 

First is that my friend Anabel  is coming to visit this weekend. It has been over a year since she’s come to Baltimore and I’m really excited for her arrival this evening. Plus, my excitement for what is only a 2 day visit has really open my eyes to the fact that distance does not equal death to a friendship. Anabel lives in Michigan, I live in Maryland, but we still talk pretty much every day and I cannot wait to see her. 

The second thing is that I have finished my first week of massage therapy school and feel an overwhelming sense of pleasure and satisfaction with the decision to enter this program. I’m really looking forward to having class again on Monday and cannot wait to learn more and delve deeper into the training. I’m feeling very excited and confident about my future in this field and the possibilities that will be open to me. I’m also already thinking about how I could combine massage therapy with other interests, like mental health and writing, in the future. It is really a huge relief to think about this past week and know that I made the right decision.
