It's the week for me to celebrate my first friend-a-versary with my FT peeps.
It's making me think about life pre-FT and how my quality of life now is so much better and I'm in such a better place.....only one year later!!!!!! Big props to "the one who brung" me ;)
Here's the comparison for anyone curious....
Old life:
- Living alone, sans amis
- Surviving attacks from a cat that was ass-crazy
- Engaging in self-destructive behaviour and relationships
- Feeling nervous, shaky and scared most of the time
...scary, that about sums up the OL....
New life:
- Living with K and J
- Having friends who call me and drop by for visits all the time
- No psycho cat, but lots of friends with uber-adorable felines (Oh, Avvy! Oh, Guido!)
- Engaging in life-giving, Christo-centric relationships
- Laughing a lot, enjoying life a lot and generally being in a good mood (for the most part....there are exceptions, but they're mostly short-lived)
- FT
- Feeling centred and like I'm standing with both feet firmly planted on solid ground
....I could go on, but I have to go clean the house before Bible study....
Yay, new life!!
I second the idea of not being the same person after FT has done it's work! Woot woot!

ReplyDeletethat's so great. I got all seriously warm and fuzzy reading that, especially since right now I'd like to be hanging out with you and Rachel but instead I am at WORK. Boo.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, here's to emerging from a bad place.
I had no idea you could comment on these pages without being a 'member of the community.' i'm so glad that i was wrong!
ReplyDeleteold life vs. new life...pretty amazing stuff, dude! i love the fact that i'm still rocked by evidence of the transforming power of Jesus even though i've seen Him in action a million times.
keep on rockin' in the free world, sista.
Hey Lisa, ya know what also gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling? Penguin shaped shortbread cookies with royal icing.....BOOyah! I ate my cat green cookie last night....along with four others.....after eating a bowl of "Cherry Garcia" a la Ben & Jerry's :D But it's all good.....I went running this morning!
ReplyDeleteKate, dude, I love you lots. You missed some WICKED dancing last night at Supermarket......see you later this aft?
