home at heart

To look inward and lead an examined life. To learn that "home" is not the place where I hang my hat but the warmth of my heart when it's at peace.

Breaking up is hard to do

At some point, many of us will find ourselves in relationships that just aren't working. We find ourselves giving too much without getting enough in return. We find ourselves having to become someone we no longer like. Or, sadly, we find that the relationship robs us of our ability to enjoy even other people and activities; we become imprisioned in our own private hell.

But breaking up is hard. Just because ONE person wants out of the relationship doesn't necessarily end things. Especially if a relationship has gone on for a while, it may take some time to completely clear out all of one's belongings and to get over all the hurt and pain.

But it's worth it!

THAT'S RIGHT; I told Flu I just can't do it anymore. And we fought, and he cried, and I yelled, and...this hurts to admit, but he hit me. He did. He knocked me down pretty hard. But I bravely looked him straight in the face and said, "goodbye" and threw his stuff out on the street.

And then I threw up.

But I'm getting much better now. Unfortunately, his friends Cold and Phlegm are still stopping by to try to talk me into taking Flu back, but I'm staying strong, and hopefully I will be completely over him soon.

Thanks for everyone's concern. I will survive!!

Yeah, I gave Flu the boot too.

Some folks never learn.

This is a GREAT post. I tried to get the flu this year, you know, just to get out of work for a few days, but it didn't work out.
