New Jack had an amazing quote posted on her blog, one that I felt should be shared with any of my readers that may not be onto hers yet.
"I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have a" life itself."
-Walter Anderson
Umm...Walter Anderson is a brilliant man. What he had to be going through to come up with some gold like that? Given my situation, i've taken those words to heart. I'm not gonna look at what I have to do so negatively anymore. Our house phone/internet line was cut off, and it made me feel good to give my cash to help get it back on. I feel even better than I'm paying off my phone bill by myself, slowly but its getting there. As long as i keep paying, they wont cut my stuff. I'm trying to have a more positive outlook on the home situation, I really am.
I'm allowing myself a little more positivity for 2008, granted this new job doesnt get me into trouble. Here's to a New Year!
