Today was just a simple day, but it was so beautiful. We spent most of the day cuddled on the couch binging Netflix, but there were many fun, goofy moments filled with joy. We also cooked a delicious dinner while listening to some wonderful music, one of my most favorite things to do.

Today I felt filled with gratitude for my amazing parter in this life. Although this year has been filled with tremendous sadness, I've also experienced profound joy, contentment and self-acceptance. I can honestly say it's been one of the best years of my life.

I'm still afraid, but I'm ready for whatever it takes. Thank God for these blissful, simple days to make all the other days that aren't so bright tolerable.
