group of words uttered often by Captain Picard. it about sums up how i got to where i am today... took a long time to realize that nothing happens if you sit around and wait for it. i have to say that it took very painful and miserable aspects of my life to light that proverbial fire underneath my butt and get on with this business of living, of chasing after goals i thought i'd never achieve. part of me still battles with the "i can't" demon, the good part is that i'm throwing punches now. i've always said and written that "i can" but i don't think i believed myself completely. that little sliver of doubt kept me stuck in a rut, unhappy with the direction my life was taking, and feeling a little hopeless.
my God, Sezrah, i think i actually am happy! and it's not due to any one thing in particular...but a whole bunch of stuff.
i'm a different person from who i was about 8 months ago. and i'm a heck of a lot closer to where i want to be. whether it's tough, easy, or whether i'm too busy, or dog-tired...
yes...mark the day down...
franny is happy with herself and what she's achieved the last few months.
