In My Own Riptide The Water Is Fine

What a good day it has been today. I slept in way too long, went to get new shoes cause mine are falling apart, and went to see a children's theatre production of Ann of Green Gables. I find any excuse to go see any form of theatre, weather it be non profit, professional, community, or whatever. I just loving being a part of and seeing theatre, no matter how it presents itself. My parents are always struggling to spend more time with my brother and I. I went to get shoes with my father, which meant a lot to him, and went to the show with my mom. She was absolutely thrilled. I find it interesting how I have grown apart from my family as I have gotten older. It is not like I don't care about them, because I love them all dearly, but the older I get the more I seem to tire of them. I think it is just many little things adding up that somehow annoy me or wear me down. Due to the fact that I love them all so much, I will continue to spend as much time with them as I can, and hope that I get over it. I think that maybe part of it is just me, growing as a person. While at college, I have grown and changed a lot. These changes are new to my parents, and I feel as though the "new" me is somehow not welcome home.
I also received a very uplifting email today on Facebook. One of my old friends who I no longer talk to thanked me for helping her to get over her depression problems. During the times when we were close, she tried to lighten her load and tell me about her current problems with depression and how she had bad thoughts about herself. My first response was something like "oh! You are awesome" thinking that it would solve everything. After a few minutes, I realized that it was a serious issue, and for the next few weeks, I pushed her to seek real professional help. I didn't hear much from her after that, but after receiving the email, it is clear to me that she did, and for that I thank the Lord. I am not sure what part I have played in her life, but I am glad to know that I helped make it better, and it is nice to be acknowledged for that.
I head to bed tonight with absolutely nothing to do tomorrow. I can only hope that tomorrow is as fufilling a day as today has been .
