Singles

I have always had a healthy respect for what single parents do. They work doubly hard. I now have a new level of understanding and empathy that I've never had before. It's been a really hard week. I'm tired beyond anything I have been before. But I've learned a great deal! I've had a lot of time to myself for thought and meditation. It reminds me of my mission. They give you so much study and pondering time--and you discover so many things about yourself that you would not have discovered had you been running around 'like a chicken with it's head cut off'! (which I have a new understanding of, as well! Ha!) Even though it's been a hard time, I'm grateful. It's been good for me to step myself up a notch or two. Hopefully, many of these new realizations and habits will stay with me, and I can continue to improve--which is what life is all about, right? Always going up! (hopefully...) We should always be learning, improving, and striving to better ourselves and others around us.

While I am thankful for this time of growth for myself, however 'short', I am SO EXCITED to see Devin!! I can't wait until tonight! It feels like my day is just dragging on and on and on. I had all kinds of things planned for the day, and it looks as if almost everything has fallen through, so that makes the minutes tick by slowly. Oh well. This too, shall pass!
