…and miles to go before I sleep

I have much to learn before my journey is over…

I need to learn to control my anger and pick my battles. Otherwise, I’m going to end up looking like a major jerk.

I must figure out how to not be so jealous. I know who my closest and most intimate friends are. They are not going anywhere and watching as they spend the night with other people does not mean I have lost them. I know I still have them because I make a point to see them and they make a point of penciling themselves into my planner or saying, “I haven’t spent any time with you lately. Let’s do something.” That holds so much meaning for me. So I need to just sit back, breathe, and remember that time is not the enemy here.

I need to learn to appreciate what I have and to make the best of things. I need to look at what I can’t see…the wonderful things in my life.

I need to understand and revel in the fact that the best thing that’s happened to me in the longest time is mine. And mine to keep.

And I just need to smile and laugh and hug my friends. And curl up in my bed and understand how lucky I am to have pleasant dreams…
