I bet you get tired of hearing this from me

but Nie Nie was talking about how it's been two years since her accident. And it hit me. Two years. Two years?

I remember reading her blog before the accident, and then during the trauma. I was waiting, hoping, praying it would all be okay. And now, looking back, it's been two years. How? How is it possible it is two?

I think of all that has happened to me in those two years. I haven't had to cope with what Stephanie has by any stretch of the imagination. But if someone would have told the two-years-ago-me that this is where I would be, right now, typing this, I would have laughed. I wouldn't have believed.

Things happen. Life happens. You make choices. You get on a plane and sometimes it crashes. You get your phone tackled by a bat and sometimes it breaks forever. But the amazing part is that life goes on anyway.

Then you're sitting at a computer typing this wondering how it all happened. I know this is not the same for Nie, she has had to deal with so much (she's kind of a hero of mine) but I could not be happier with how life has turned out.

Good things happen and bad things happen. To all people. At any time. You cannot stop them from happening. You cannot wish them a certain way. But you can choose to take at life for the adventure it is, kiss the one's that you love at night, and keep on truckin'.

And sometimes - so much good come out of something that feels so bad at the time that 6 months down the road you thank life for the curve ball.
