Seven Things Amended

This counts as it happened last night which is Friday and thus still in my seven day week.

I don't deal with conflict very well and I do avoid it any time I can.  Last night at work, some of the teenagers were getting in to a strong discussion (fight is too strong) and people were getting hurt by what was being said, so I was trying to calm things down.  These situations exhaust me and tend to pull me down.  Towards the end of the night, things had calm down, and one of my volunteers, V, asked me if I was okay.  Since we were closed at this point and it was her and me, I let tears slip.  Not crying but tears still fell.  She asked if I wanted to go for a drink... then I did the strangest thing, I said yes.  Usually I say no, go home, start crying and then.... well things don't tend to go well really. 

So she came to mine after work, we drank a fair amount of alcohol, we talk about everything and nothing, and it was really Nice.  She stayed until around 1am this morning.  I went to bed content and not wanting to cry or do anything other than sleep.  It was amazing, all because I said yes rather than no.

I am blessed for my friend V, she is wonderful, I'm actually teaching her music as well, but I had so much fun last night.  It was fantastic.

So my third thing on my seven things is my friend V, for being a great and fantastic friend.
