I'm not one for the cheesy, feel-good sayings about how people walk into your life and leave crap...blah blah blah.... I have always been of the mindset that if you don't want to be my friend, if you don't want me in your life, then I don't need you in mine. I'm not going to force anyone to be my friend, it doesn't work that way. Recently, that point was driven home. While the details will be kept private, I wish this person and their family nothing but the best (no, really, I do), and I pray for their happiness. Sometimes you have to get that out there and get it out of your mind, much like the use of the Pensieve in the "Harry Potter" stories.
MOVING ON.........
Update on the 101 list:
#17 - I have gotten the rest of the pictures for the 365 day photo challenge done (the ones that I was behind on) and I feel like I have climbed a mountain (and for us chubsters, that's a really odd feeling).
#120 - Cook at home for a whole week - no takeout:
Mark this off the To Do list and put it on the "To Done" list. I must admit, when I started, I was worried I couldn't do it. I didn't know if the Husbinator would like what I cooked and I honestly didn't know if we would have the self-discipline to do it. Well, we did. It is a pretty awesome feeling to sit down to a meal that you have cooked, even it if it is just soup, and hear The Husbinator say: "Wow, this is really good!" Not to mention that we have saved money just by getting leftovers out of the night before (sometimes 2-3 days worth of leftovers) and we have had food to freeze for the nights when we don't want to cook.
While the 101 list is moving at a snail's pace, it is moving. And for that, I am pretty proud.
I do have a few worries and concerns that keep eating my mind and they will resolve themselves on their own. I just hope it happens soon because being stagnant like this is for the birds.
Remember: Treat everyone you meet with kindness. It won't hurt you to have compassion and empathy for your fellow man. Everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle inside, be it small or large.
