Things are going pretty good right now. Shay and I had a bit of a rent scare–that was interesting–but we got through it no problem. And, it gave me an excuse to do my taxes ^_^
Recently, I remembered something my mother told me. Yes, I'll admit that not everything she said to me was hurtful, but that doesn't make it okay when they were. Anyway, she used to tell me that the bad things in my life were like being pruned by God. Corny, I know, but I was pruning my houseplant and I thought about that, and all the bad, hurtful things in my life didn't seem so bad anymore. They were helping me grow or what have you, and the analogy's a little nicer than "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Maybe I'll tell you what those things were when I'm not at work…
