 I used to be pretty miserable until I took the attitude of not worrying about things I can't change. It drives my wife nuts when she's upset and I'm like "Oh well..."
  But I still have my bad days, too

				| Well, I can't say I haven't had my moments of self-inflicted Bree-laced ignorance, either.  yeah it does tend to piss people off when you don't take things so seriously... especially when you're known for being "moral" and "responsible"...*sighs* |  |

 I used to feel that way as well.  I let the stresses of everyday life wear me down...not enough money, crappy job, can't spend enough time with the kids, much less feed them.  And then I woke up one morning and realized that I could continue to bitch about my crappy life, or embrace it and own it.  So, yeah, I'm still dirt poor, can barely feed my kids, but I love my job and I make sure that spending time with them comes first.  And I remember how fun I was at 12, how much wonder there was in the world and I try to live my life that way.  I try not to be bitter and jaded (I fail at that quite a bit
  ), but at least I try. 
 Oh, and a couple years of therapy and medication helped too

 Oh, don't get me wrong... I still worry about things... But I rarely let them get me to the point that I can't joke about them

				| I dunno if I can really call myself jaded, but as most of you already know (also referring to the readers, not just people replying) I'm pretty opinionated and tend to be pretty vocal.  I may not be as blunt about it as Beckers, but it isn't really all that different.  I just like to use tact in situations. 
 I don't know if I'll ever be in the same situation as Ziola who has kids, but when that time comes, I hope to be able to embrace that, too.
 
 I wish I had your resilience, 'mute.  I tend to take things on the more serious side since that's how people seem to take me when I start to jabber on.. Well, mostly.  It's kinda refreshing knowing that some people can relate.

				| Kage, you seem like you need a hug today.  So I'm sending you a big hug and kiss and homemade cookies with lots of love.  I know its not as good as the real thing, but I hope you can feel the sentiment. |  |

 Thanks for the sentiment, Ziola.

 I have been told my birthday is right on the cusp of Aquarius/Pisces....and that every once in awhile I am a Pisces....I don't know that kind of stuff though xD...hell I can never remember if it is astronomy or astrology...I think its astrology....
