I want to have something witty, brilliant, and interesting to say here but everything I type just sounds fake and forced...I have a good life. I love being a mom. My son is my whole world and the reason I'm here. I love my family even though they're spread all over the place and I don't get to see them as often as I wish. I love my friends and I'm so very thankful to have them because I'm not easy to manage. Just ask them. I don't love my job but I'm good at it and I don't hate it enough to leave. Yet. I spend a lot of my free time volunteering and trying to make my son's world a better place. I want to leave this world knowing I wasn't lazy and I tried to make a difference for him. Most days that feels like digging a tunnel to China with a Taco Bell spork. But the few times it feels like I'm smashing down glass walls with a sledgehammer make it all worthwhile.I had a rough 2006 and this year I'm striving to make my world a better, more peaceful place. It's an every day effort that I'm still failing at some days but I keep trying. In that effort comes the attempt to appreciate the finer details and the smaller things in life. A good book, a good meal, a good glass of wine, a good conversation, a good friend, good music... so many of these things are so easily obtained and so frequently taken for granted. More, more more. We always want more then what we have. I just want to be happy with what I've got. For now.Geezus I sure rambled a lot for not knowing what to say...
