satc

well i'm half way through the week and really excited about the first Avalon Summer Cook-Out this weekend! i had a really boring and long day at work and coming home to the girls and a night of gossip, good food & fun was just what i needed. sometimes when we are all together i wonder if women in the 1800's sat around like we do and just talked?

i got some really great advice from my mom today about character & self-respect. it's always when you think you have all it all together and "figured out" that someone literally rains on your parade. i am thankful though - who can say that they have a dad that would kill for his family's happiness? i do and i'm thankful - i don't need a fake family that looks good on paper. what i have is real and honest love and support for one another.

while watching sex and the city last week i heard carrie say this,

"maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back, maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be"

now i know carrie wasn't aristotle or da vinci but what makes more sense then that line? i have a hard time letting things go and i think thats something in my life that could use a little work. this line inspired me to reevaluate what i hold in high regard in my life. in the year 2010 who thought that we would be in economic hell and 80% of the population would be suffering in some form or another? it is time to change something - finding out what is for the next blog.
