Miracles

I'm laying in bed resting. It has been a crazy week. For starters, my aunt and uncle are in town, I had a sleepover (not at PCH) for the first time in 19 months, my surprise birthday party (which deserves it's own blog), I'm going to an outdoor wedding tomorrow, I did homework today, and oh yeah, my chimerism is at 100% across the board!!! I am officially, for the first time in my life, 100% Ryan Paul Christenson. What crime should I commit first? All I would have to do is leave blood.. kidding!

Well, I survived my flu shot. The nurse walked in, she started talking, and I interrupted her, "excuse me, sorry, but i have a request...DO NOT let me see the needle." I'm strange, I know. But for the record, it was nothing. The anticipation is what I struggle with. 

I am still working on my website with all of the Oprah pics. I am excited to showcase what fabulous people you are and how supportive everyone was. It meant so much to me.

Today is one of those days where I've just been in awe of the life I've been blessed with. On the way home from clinic my Mom and I belted out the lyrics to "The Climb" (nowhere near on pitch), but it was still beautiful. Another song kept coming to mind as well, the lyrics are "A chapter ending, but the story's only just begun." We are approaching the peak. We all know there is "always going to be another mountain", but we are so close. I can honestly say, the view is definitely worth it (and we aren't even at the top yet). Of course I still struggle, I have my days, okay, let's be honest, there are a lot of them. I worry; can I do this? Can I go here? Can I touch this? Can I eat this? It's a constant question that comes to mind...can I? Well, soon, there will be no question, "Yes, I can."

Each week, there is some word or phrase that I seem to overuse, one week it was "marvelous", another it was "I hear you. I see you.", this week it is "I believe in miracles." Believe in yourself, in your dreams, in the power of God, in love, and in miracles.
