Boston

I cannot believe I landed here a week ago today. I am not even sure what to say. I have been warmly welcomed. I have felt so loved by my cousin and my friends and I have missed "home" terribly. I love this city, and am amazed at the relationships that have welcomed me. I am nervous about meeting with the Doctors. I am definitely scared that they are going to be like, NO - you don't have ADHD - YOU ARE CRAZY. Partially because I am pretty sure that my breed of insanity is genetic.

My cousin and I have been having a really sweet time together and she has been such an incredible place to land. We have laughed and cried and laughed through tears and in lots and lots of ways, my little girl dream of having a sister is being met in the unconditional love and companionship of Jess.

Here are some pictures of the adventures along the way. I am going to be writing and posting here more. It will be real and raw and honest. I am committed to that, and I know it will seem like a bit much for some of you, but I know it's the right thing to do for right now. I know that if you are coming to this Blog it's because you want to and I want to be honest about this process of figuring out what's going on with me. And share with you my road to trying to get my life on a healthier and better track than the chaotic one it has been on.

I also want to say that I think part of my recovery here will be slowing down enough to write, take pictures, enjoy running, have long dinners with my cousin and family, hang out for my cousin's son's 3rd birthday, hang out with old dear friends, get to know new ones, and I am thrilled to cultivate a deeper passion for serving the poor, loving the isolated and needy of the world, and giving my life on behalf of the lonely.

So welcome to the journey. I am glad you're reading along.
