I am space that is neither here nor there...
First of all, congrats to the following:
September 09 - To one of my oldest friends in the world. Happy B-day Janelle!
September 01, 2007 - Congratulations on your wedding Kay and Joey!
September 10 - Happy belated b-day Kay! Double Whammy!
And of course...
September 08, 2007 - Congrats Iya and Chris on your wedding! I am so happy for you two.
Sometimes you just need a break from everything...and when you can't take a break from everything, you just take a break from work, he he he, which is exactly what I did last week. I worked all of 3 hours last week and took off Monday too. I wish I could've taken more time off, but the break was much needed. And I'm glad i got to have the days off leading up to Iya and Chris' wedding...I got to spend some QT w/ the bro I never had before he got hitched and took off to good old Italia.
This time off really gave me the chance to spend some time away and just contemplate about my life and everything that's transpired in it as of late, Time really is one of the most valuable things in our lives. I was able to really enjoy being on my own and with friends and everything in between. I was able to come to some pretty logical realizations about myself, my character, and my life, the biggest being with how I deal with loss...
Anyway, about the rant post I made a few weeks ago; a couple of my closest friends told me that, "God wouldn't give me anything I couldn't handle." Some times, I've felt that that was completely false, but it really is true. These are just the uncontrollable non-easy things that happen that one just has to get through. The more I fussed about it and complained, the worse I made it for myself. I would get even more frustrated just talking about it and get all worked up again. I seriously was on the verge of a complete breakdown. Eventually, I realized I just needed to take a breath, let things settle, and move on. Some things are a little harder to move on from, but in the words of another good friend, "The world will keep moving on, with or without you...it's your choice whether or not you want to be left behind." My friends are truly awesome... They're friends because they're there when you need them, they try to make you smile when you're down, they pat you on the back when you deserve congratulations. When things aren't on the up-and-up, they remind us about the things we already know in our hearts; the things we would tell them if the roles were reversed, they carry us when we can't carry on on our own, and sometimes, give us a smack in the face when we're being stupid and really need it. I really love my friends...truly, madly, deeply...
