I have a headache. I have had a headache for a week. I hate it! It's amazing to me how this headache can make me not want to see anyone, go anywhere or do anything. It has made me short tempered and tired. I tried to nap with Caden this afternoon but it wasn't dark enough and they are doing some sort of construction down the street. Imagine my short temperedness then! SO anyway - this grumpy and somewhat depressed state I have been in this week makes me angry at myself. I believe that you make your own life. So if you are complaining - you are your own complaint department. It is no one else's fault and no one else is going to fix it for you.

When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...
