I was humbled by my friends blog this morning. Everyone's struggles are different but there are some situations that make you take a step back and think, "I should be thankful for what I have because it could always be worse."
I feel like i've been caught up in the same cycle for the past 6 years. The same problems that plauged us then still plauge us now. Why is that? Oh, we talk about change but do we ever really do it?! What does it take - hitting rock bottom - what if you never do and you just flounder inbetween? I'm not ok with that and i'm not ok with floundering because floundering feels like drowning.
But i'm in a good mood so I refuse to get down.
I also realized last night that i'm not good at being alone. Some people love that time to themselves, even need it to recharge. That's just not me. Tommy was working, Sarah was doing a paper, everyone else was busy, and so I was left to channel surf on my couch. I hated it. I was so bored and almost fell asleep at 9pm. I live off of people - that's where I get my energy. Even if it's someone just keeping me company at home - at least it's human interaction. Thank God for Mr. Marshall and his food shopping excursion to keep me entertained. Oh, and then Liz's phone call at 9:30pm telling me to get dressed b/c she was coming to Westfield so we could go get a drink. Lifesavers - both of them!
Let's talk about Westfield for a second...
I love living in Westfield because I can walk to everything. The downside is it's made me LAZY! I don't ever want to go anywhere that requires me to drive. It's literally like living in the Village of NY but the suburbs of NJ. And, the best part (well, there are many best parts) but I have a Trader Joe's that I can walk to. Yesterday I found the most amazing trail mix there. They have about a hundred different kinds but this one is perfect for me. Now, I LOVE Costco's trailmix. They have a ton of nuts, raisins, and m&m's and it's salty. Technically not so good for you. This trail mix has cashews, almonds, raisins, semi-sweet chocolate pieces, and no salt. So, it's not the best for you but it's a lot healthier than the Costco mix. Yum!
My eyes are watery today. Yesterday there was a cold chill in the air and today it's hot and humid. Good ole Jersey weather. Probably why my eyes are all jacked. Grey's is on tonight. Anyone watch that show. I'm a little disappointed with it so far this season. Izzy needs to get a life, George needs to grow up, and I hope Callie kicks the crap out of them both. The storylines so far this season are terrible. Let's pray it gets better as the season goes on.
