High/Low 11.19.04

Hi everyone..

How are you? Glad it's Friday nite? I surely am. SO glad to have some time by myself this weekend. It's actually a nice temperature outside today.. I didn't need a coat which is nice. But it looks like Saturday might be rainy and yucky..I guess that puts a damper on my raking. (Secret: I like to do stuff outside so I've been kinda looking forward to it)

High: I had a GREAT hair day today and actually I got a LOT of compliments on my all around appearance today. My boss wasn't in the office all day until 3ish.. SO nice to not have him around, especially on a Friday.

Low: Major changes taking place for me.. my friendships. One of my closest friends decided that she couldn't be my friend anymore, makes me very sad to have to end something that has been such an important part of my life. I have come face to face with one of my biggest fears in my life, to have people I love.. leave. Many hurtful things were said, from both of us and I think it will be good for us to go our separate ways, so we can experience different things. I am sure I will go thru the gammit of different emotions, like the 5 stages of grief, but I'm sure that both of us will come out better for having gone thru this. My hope is that I learn to know and love myself more from having this experience. That is my prayer anyway.

Ya know, the prevalent moral of this weeks situation to me is a quote I have in front of me right now, that I got from a fortune cookie a long time ago... "The only certainty is that nothing is certain" Ain't that the truth? But I think that's what life is all about..learning to take lifes ups and downs with Grace, to do the best job that we can, and continue to look at ourselves.. our "stuff", the things that we need to work on.. and not push it away.. to try to deal with the consequences of our actions or inactions the best ways we can.. I will continue to try looking at my stuff.. and keep trying to do the best job I can.. even if that's not good enough to anyone else...

Have a great weekend everybody.
