As I stumble through life I've found that writing is a strength for me to work through, look back on, share, and enjoy. I hope that I can share life experiences with others and hopefully learn more along the way. And if you like art, check out my website.. www.paintexpressionart.com .

I think I'm safer on a jetway, than a world without love...

Well .. I kinda feel like today just started out wrong, the middle was good, and the end was kinda disappointing.
I had a dentist app first thing this morning to get fillings. They gave me lectures about not coming in often, which is awkward.
Then once he had drilled the inside of my tooth he says "Oh this doesn't look too good." WHAT??!! Who wants to hear that when 2 hands are smashed in your mouth and your tooth's totally drilled?
Then he says I need a root canal. They bring me the estimate of what's covered and what isn't and my portion is $500 dollars worth. Pretty sure I welled up with tears because this was the last thing I was expecting and it will be my 3rd root canal =(.
Then she says "we don't do payments if you have insurance and your tooth is open now.' I had already wanted to complain about their service then when she said that I really just wanted to flip them the bird and peace out.
Instead.. I calmed down and called mom.
I got the root canal .. ugh. And have to go back next week to get the rest done.
The dentist told me that I inherited some funky thing in my teeth that basically doesn't prevent bad stuff.
It was kind of a depressing morning.
Then I went and painted the beginning of a mural and that helped me feel better.
I then tattooed and actually shocked myself with my freehand skills. Always a nice feeling.
I still can't believe I did all that stuff after a root canal. But I'm good. Can't really eat and it does hurt.
The end of the day is now.
I'm upset about stuff that I can't change so I just need to process and let it go. It won't affect me in washington for much longer so I'll be able to put it past me.
And I must say that my teeth are quite upsetting. I still have a lot to do to them and thank God that I have insurance!
The dentist also said "At least they look nice!" bleh.
I had to get a prescription for an antibiotic too and have I mentioned how much I absolutely do not like antibiotics?
Sheesh.. sorry to unload, but I guess that's partially why this thing is so great. I can unload on here instead of on people.
Tomorrow I am painting all day at school, stuff I very much enjoy and a lot of it.
Then I'm going to my favorite restaurant with my mom for dinner.
Then I am going to paint more but at home.

I feel like I have recieved an abundant amount of grace lately, and it's grace in every area of life. I'm never thankful enough.
After the past couple years of trials and mountains I feel stronger in areas I was lacking. I'm thankful for that too even though in the midst of a trial you can't wait to get through. My sister said today that "you can't wait to get through a season." It really got me thinking about how true that is. You can't just wait for them to end because you miss all the angles if you do that. There's a lot more to unfold here but I'll stop there.
I'm just excited for new days, new experiences, new interactions, and the journey God's taking me on.
