Words of Wisdom...

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Henry David Thoreau

"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence

Caitlin

I am entitling this blog 'Caitlin' because it is dedicated to her.

The last couple days, as you know from my past blogs..... have not been easy. In fact, they have been extremely difficult. Not only trying to my heart and soul, but also trying to my mental stability.

I almost had a complete breakdown the other day. It was the closest I have been to actually losing it and doing something stupid in almost a year. If you know me well enough, you know what the last event was.

Seems to be that the betrayal of loved ones tends to do that to me.

Anyway. My friend Caitlin, who I have not known very long, but I have loved her for as long as I HAVE known her.... came over. She drove an hour from her home to my home. She then proceeded to cheer me up by being a breath of fresh air and sanity in a world full of gloom.

She then proceeded to clean up my room, clean up my kitchen, clean up my living room and make my apartment all pretty again.

I have spent the last few months since moving in with my roommate...... waiting for him to contribute to the apartment. To help me make it ours. He has not done that. Not at all. So Caitlin made it mine.

Then she spent the night and I woke up this morning to an even CLEANER apartment as well as decorated walls.

Then we proceeded to jump my car which was out of service due to a dead battery. She then took me to Checker where we bought a battery and Caitlin struggled for over 30 minutes trying to get the corroded battery out before someone helped her.

Regardless of what I have done in life.... I never considered myself lucky enough to deserve a friend that would do that much for me. I am so grateful to her.

I know that if I had been left alone last night I would not be in the good shape I am today..... I would still be wallowing in self pity.

I love my girls.
