Bittersweet...

I tried to write this once, but then I thought about the past year and well...

Today is my birthday, I took a fall while hiking yesterday. It was snowy and I had my camera in my left hand. It is an automatic response for me to save the camera and take the fall. I am sore, especially my upper right arm and shoulder. I took the day off of school today, I had some allotted absences and decided to use one today.
This is my last week in Colorado, and it is bittersweet. There are so many times in life that seem to be bittersweet. I get to go back to my precious babies, and they are ready for me to be home.
I knew I would make some lifetime friends at school, it's impossible not to in such a setting. I will miss you all so much, especially those I made an incredible bond with. You have beautiful souls, that I will miss interacting with on an almost daily basis. The bonds you make in massage school are unlike any other. You took me as I am, quirks, attitude and all. Thank you, for seeing me and accepting me just as I am. Please forgive me if I become a bit quiet and distant this week, I try not to, it's something I am working on. However, it is an automatic response, just like taking a fall to save the camera. It's my way of preparing for what is to come...
I will leave you with the words to a song sung by Jasmine Thompson...

                                                                 "Home"
                                                              (originally by Gabrielle Aplin)

I'm a phoenix in the water
A fish that's learnt to fly I've always been a daughter
But feathers are meant for the sky
So I'm wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

With every small disaster I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home home home home

So when I'm ready to be bolder
And my cuts have healed with time
Comfort will rest on my shoulder
And I'll bury my future behind I'll always keep you with me
You'll be always on my mind
But there's a shining in the shadows I'll never know unless I try

With every small disaster I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home home home home home home home

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home home home home
