Horribly Awesome

This is Manly. I decided to make my first topic title horribly awesome because it defines so much of this last week. Firstly, I was told by Babe to make my first blog post. I am not much of a writer so this has the potential to be horrible, or awesome. If I wish it the best, I hope to establish a nice happy medium of it possibly being both.

Secondly, my work life right now has been absolutely horrible, but at times in reflection, awesome. I am not at liberty to explain every detail of the last week as I am in a professional firefighter recruit academy. But I will say this last week has been like the combination of emotions when you have jumped off a very large cliff into a lake or river. It's horrible at first in terms of fear of the unknown, possible suffocation, claustrophobia, injury, and even death. But then awesome, once it's all over after you have landed in the water, taken the plunge, and have swam out of the water not having been left with a broken back.

Because of this, reflecting upon this last week, and then just having the goal to get through it all to spend time with my Babe on the weekend has made it a horribly awesome week. I am sure most of our lives are filled with these horribly awesome moments, but that's what helps us grow - the horrible. And the awesome is what makes us so grateful to count our blessing through the midst of the experiences we've been through and have shared with others throughout the journey. Can you relate? Have you've had any horribly awesome moments yourself?

Till next time,
Manly
