Quote of the Day

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO what a ride!'" ~Unknown

I had a really good talk with a friend yesterday that picked me up a bit. I'm still stressed; I still panic about all the things I have to do, I'm still bored to death at my job, I'm still holding onto my sanity by a thread. But, it's a thread more than yesterday. I think it's conversations like that - or maybe just the presence, even over the phone - that make all the difference in the world. While I don't always feel the need to keep in constant contact with people (as in, I have a tendency to let relationships lag a bit because I'm bad at regularly keeping in touch), I understand why some people do. It's grounding.

Happier news: nice win by the Sox last night. Granted, the Yankees kind of won the game for us (or at least got the ball rolling with 2 errors and a wild pitch), but I'll take it. More fun rivalry tonight!!! The MLB slogan is pretty accurate: I Live for This.
