It's my birthday!!!
OK, so they totally didn't HAVE to announce my name and age on the radio this morning...ugh!
One more year left. I need to make it a good one.
You know, it really means something when people remember your birthday. It doesn't take money or anythng showy. An early morning phone call can really brighten your day...a message sent through the computer is a fun surprise. Free things are usually more meaningful. I wonder why that is? Maybe because most free things require thought and planning...someone is actually taking the time to think about you and let you know. How cool is that?
It's getting down to crunch time. Congress is 3 weeks away. I am feeling somewhat prepared after my very successful weekend in Kentucky. I am really not giving Congress a lot of thought. I am just going to go and do it...
Just do it
Things get a lot easier after this weekend. Homecoming is so much work and stress. It's cruise control after this! I can't wait! Then it will be time to concentrate on Taylor and on my own mental preparedness...my mental state is what brings me down more often than not. I need to remain confident and relaxed. Oh yeah, easier said than done!
Yesterday was probably one of the worst days all year. Everything just seemed to crash and burn from the moment I woke up. I hate feeling powerless, and I feel that way in so many aspects of my life. I also hate being made the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong. Everyone is always trying to throw the blame elsewhere without looking inward. It's like a human form of barn-blindness. After a relatively smooth start to the school year, I had three major issues come up that I had to deal with yesterday, and they just kept coming one after the other. I am hoping that by virtue of being my birthday today, it will go a lot easier. Well, the day is still young, so we shall see!
