I am the beginning of a stalagmite...
You know what I learned today...I overestimate some people's strength. Not in a bad way, I just don't always realize that those people who I think are rock solid thru any trial and tribulation also have their moments of weakness, moments when they wanna give up, and moments where they just need to vent. Mom is one of these cases. I know she is SO strong w/ everything that she has had to deal with during this past half-year, taking care of pop, helping my sis out w/ London, and even helping me out whenever I needed it. I think I've neglected that she has wanted to vent out and just have her own time to just think about things. I just wish she was more expressive and didn't just bottle it all up all the time. Well, she got to vent out to me. And I'm glad she did...it got me pretty emotional I have to admit, being that I've never heard my mom vent out her frustrations before, but at the same time, it made me feel a special bond w/ her that I had never felt before. The obstacles and hardships that have come down our paths have really come to bring us closer together and stronger throughout. I'm just glad she knows she can come to me when she's frustrated. Reminder to self...EVERYONE gets frustrated...so let them have their vent sessions.
I was thinking the other day while I was running an errand. I had to drop off some mail for my mom, but the post office was already closed so I just dropped it in the mailbox. It was then that I realized, that w/ all the bad things we see in happening in the world, there's still good stuff out there. Take for example the mailbox...you drop your mail, and the Post Office organizes it such that it can get to its desired destination in a timely manner. But what's to stop some random person from dropping their chocolate milshake into the box? I mean, the opening is pretty big, and there's no real security around it(except if you get caught, you'd probably go to prison or something cuz I'm sure some type of federal law keeps you from doing it), but yet no one does anything to ruin it. So to know that some moron isn't doing something like ruining the mail for so many other people, puts a smile to my face :) Albeit people may be doing it because they wouldn't want someone to do it to THEIR mail, but it's the thought th@ counts... So just when you think people out there are just plain old evil, rememer the mailbox scenario.
Today's randoms...
-I ate lunch at this new Thai restaurant close to work. It was pretty damn good and pretty damn cheap. I love lunch spots like that.
-You don't realize how much of a nuisance button-fly's are unless you have to go to the bathroom like 4 times a day or if you're in a real big hurry...
