ONE OF MY OWN

One thing I've learned is that there is no happily ever after, there is no destination, only the journey. And it's just about being happy along the way.

CHANGE

One of my favorite quotes is:

"Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional and happines is an inside job."

There are a lot of changes going on in my life right now, which I'm not ready to openly discuss on here. A chapter in my life is closing and another is opening and I am comfortable with it. I have reached a point in my life where no matter what obstacle is put infront of me, I can look at it and know that I will walk through it and come out the other side better than before.

That is the beauty of being comfortable with myself, loving myself and not relying on anyone or anything to "make" me happy. I have all the tools I need inside me and have no need to go searching for it.

So stay tuned...the best is yet to come.

OK...

...so I'm a friggin' loser. I haven't posted anything in a really long time and there is no excuse for it. I have been to Pittsburgh and back, dropped an anatomy class and have planned my next trip back to Pittsburgh.

I went home to PA to visit my grandmother who is extremely ill. I had to say goodbye...like the real "goodbye", which was right up there on the list of being the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I got to hang with Marie, watch Reagan bitch-slap Marie, poop in her tub, piss on her floor and pretty much drive her nuts watching the Muppet Show over and over again. A little break in the sadness of the whole trip was most excellent.

Then...I came home, gave the big 'ol middle finger to my anatomy class and felt much better about life. No dissection of cats, no more pervy professor, just me and English now. I like the English teacher...she's a grammar Nazi. I am not so good with punctuation and what not, I write like I talk, but I'm not famous yet so I guess I have to abide by her semi-colon rules.

Really life has been uneventful, which is OK with me sometimes. I try to avoid the chaos; don't need it. So...that's all for now. We are getting into tourist season here on the island. A tell tale sign is seeing people drive North in the Southbound lane and vice-versa. It's really fun to watch.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to be a better blogger. Sorry to have been such a slacker.

You all will get over it...I'm sure.
