Quotes

The last few days have been pretty crappy with school (more has happened since parent conferences).  I'll admit that I've shed quite a few tears over the matters.  Really, I just want to say that some parents are just plain mean (actually, I really want to say some other things, but I shouldn't).

In trying to get lost in other thoughts, I ran across the following...

A good reminder.  I know I can do it.

I always tell people that I love trials and adversity...I'm pretty sure that they think I'm crazy.  I don't necessarily love the fact that they're hard, frustrating, sometimes painful, etc., but I love how much I learn and grow from them.  I've had some pretty rough times in life, but looking back, I'm so much better off and so much stronger and even happier than before.

This is just true of me.  I think it can even go back to my post about relationships with others.  People around me think they might know me, but really there's so much more to me that you just have to get to know.  I have found that people don't try very hard to get to know me because they think it will be too hard.  I had a friend tell me recently that I come off as closed so people don't ask me questions because they feel I won't say much...that's so not true.  I can talk your ear off if you get talking to me and I'll tell you just about anything if you ask the right question.

I'm happy to say that I already do most of these and am working on others.  I especially like #3...that's just me.  I like to give.  Whether it's a physical item, service, or time...it doesn't matter.  I find that people freak out sometimes when others do things for them.  Why can't I just do something nice for you?
