Awkward Moments Define My Life

        I work as a hostess at Romano's Macaroni Grill.  I was trying to make small talk with a couple as I brought them back to their table-I asked if they were celebrating anything special.  The man said,  "We're celebrating getting through another day of marriage."  "You don't know how bad it is yet, but you will someday."

       I will not marry a man unless I know that I will enjoy, and be thankful for everyday I get to spend with him, and not "just get through it." 

Take These Broken Wings and Learn to Fly

For quite some time now I have contemplated starting a blog.  I suppose the close of an era of my life is the perfect time to start writing.   The summer of 2010 was a varied one.  I had hard lessons learned, friends lost, and friends gained.  Laughs, and many, many tears.  My life has always been mapped out for me, and now most of that has fallen to pieces.  This summer was about finding myself, and making the big decisions that will determine the rest of my life.  I made lots of mistakes, but have no regrets. Let's face it, life is tough! We live in a time of uncertainty and confusion as well as much suffering. Bad things do happen to good people and good things do happen to bad people. Those two truths must be accepted before one can ever find peace. So here’s to many more summers, and many more lessons to be learned.
