Happy Mother’s Day!

Sunday, May 11th, 2003

If I may quote Mark Twain for a moment: My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.

I can only say that my mother has been putting up with me for 24 years now, and while we’ve had our ups and downs, we always bounce back. I am definitely not described as the perfect daughter. And I am extremely headstrong and opinionated, which I’m sure she finds grating. But I haven’t managed yet to push her completely away with my puzzling behavior.. ;) I suppose that she loves me and puts up with me as only a mother could. :)

Cheers to you Mom, for all that you’ve done and have yet to do. And even when we disagree, you’re always in my heart.

I love you!

Friends, I Think

Sunday, May 11th, 2003

Isn’t it amazing how confusing relationships can be? And I’m not just talking about the romantic ones either. It seems that even friendships nowadays are difficult to maintain. I am so grateful that I have a few friends who are simply easy to understand and deal with. I love how dependable some people are in this world. But it’s the ones that I just can’t quite figure out that worry me. Are we all destined to be thrust into places where our hearts want to go but that might end up just getting us hurt? There are friends out there who I’m afraid I’ll never be able to just be friends with. The kind that I’ll spend my nights worrying about what I say and what I do. Or worrying that I’m just not doing enough on my end to fulfill the friendship. Then it hurts because if they really are friends, would I worry as much about my every move? I just don’t know.
