			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>It makes me cringe when I think of your face. I don't see how you could have hurt a daughter, a wife, and a family without even a drop of heart. Letting go is the hardest thing, but I know it's the only way. In all circumstances, we learn how to maneuver our life but not the people in it. With that in mind, I suppose that you just need to fly and be free. The past will always be there - but the memories will be forgotten. I don't want to remember, I want to see you fade. I honestly cannot silence my heart because it's throbbing for the fact that you weren't there. Why should I cap my time waiting for you to glue the pieces back together? And with all due belief - being without you is the best punishment I could ever ask for. I guess the future is better left unsaid. Your approval is unnecessary and unneeded. I am bound and determined to become callus to your voice and words - because in the end, it's your words that will bounce back at you. So do us all a favor, and take your sorry soul away...you're no longer welcome here.</div>

<br />
<font face="Century Gothic">Everyone is always saying that &quot;change is good&quot; but I'm having a difficult time rolling with that. Maybe I just need to open my eyes to a world at wide, but I'm doing my very best. It's a concept that comes so easily for others, but something I am on a constant struggle with. Trial and error is a good process, but what happens when the error overpowers the trial? Does the world just go blank? Or are we just back where we started? If weakness is an obstacle, what is strength? I suppose strength can be just as much of an obsticle as anything else. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I have found that it is indeed important to take time. <br />
Time to look. <br />
Time to listen. <br />
Time in general. <br />
When you take time to enjoy, everything just seems to fall right into place. <br />
I suppose my grandma's saying &quot;spilled milk isn't as dense as honey&quot; is truer than we'd like to believe. If you whine over little things, you are going to have a heck of a time with something dramatic. <br />
I always believed in the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side, but it's not true. <br />
Right now, I can't think of anywhere else I would want to be except for right here, where I am. Because it's perfect. <br />
Stop wishing something was different, because in an abstract view, it is. <br />
People who expect something spectacular, will never be content. <br />
Stride isn't a bad thing, it's just not relevant when you know that nothing will ever be perfect. <br />
I think that I have finally learned, to just go with the current. I have been spending so much time attempting to make a point, show opinions just to cause a thought, and make a difference in a mind set, I haven't even thought to look away from the big picture, and in the end - it's key.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font face="Century Gothic">Have you ever had one of those days when you just wake up smiling, you have no plans, no work, no school, just a day. Today was one of those days for me, nothing special was going on - it was just absolutely lovely. I slept in until 8, went to our local Burger Joint with my roomie and my best friend and we all then just spent the day having a blast. We went to the beach - a rare treat -  and played in the water, walked the board walk, and enjoyed the shops. I was able to call my friend who went to college at UCLA and chat for a bit. Everything just seems brighter and more vibrant outside - I don't know why, it's just lovely. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font size="3"><font color="Purple">Today was wonderful, it's been a long time since I've been able to completely enjoy a day. My cousin was deployed to Iraq a couple months or so before Christmas and it was tough because he wasn't able to send letters or e-mails often. I got the wonderful phone call at 6 this morning that he is coming home in a few weeks, we have a really close bond and I can't wait to see him, this makes me EXTREMELY happy. I know that with a career like his, it's never a 100% positive chance that he's going to come home soon, but I'm definitely keeping an open heart for his return. :) :) :) When I woke up today, it was nice outside and I was able to relax on the patio for a while in the warmth. It was purely fantastic. I'm looking forward to more good days. Good night everyone, work starts at 3:00a.m. so I need to go to bed.....:lol: <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>People speak from their minds, and less from their heart everyday. It's a shame that their minds are so closed to new opinions, thoughts, and ideas. The harder I try, the lazier they get and it's really starting to get to me. Work is getting harder everyday and my co-workers/friends have been calling in sick which leaves me to do all the tough stuff myself. I guess that's life. I've been working with myself and trying to balance my mind but it's easier said than done. Getting up at 4:30 to get ready, get to work at 5 and get home at 2:40 everyday is tough, it's really starting to take a toll.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Generally I cope with death of friends and family well, but for some reason I'm having a hard time dealing with the passing of my great Aunt. She passed away about 3 years ago, but I can't seem to get over it. While at the mall today I saw so many things that reminded me of her and then smelled a perfume that had almost the exact scent as her small apartment in LA. I hadn't really had this hard of a time dealing with this ever since her funeral, I think the death of Alan (the micechatter) just pushed me over the edge. He was such a wonderful person who I was able to talk to anytime. This has got to stop, I can't live like this. The pain is just sharp. Even at work the patterns in witch  do things are a little less cheerful. I think I'm done, for now.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font size="2">As 2008 comes to an end I can't help but be grateful for the events that have happened and made me a stronger person. Through pain and sorrow I have found light this year. The death of my Uncle from cancer put a thick layer of smog and mist on my life but through it all I think I have found someone in myself that I never knew existed. It seems that this year in particular there has been a lot for me to complain about, but then there has been WAY more events that make me smile. Moving out on my own and trying to survive was an eye-opener but I'm very glad to be able to say that I made it and that I am finally stable and settled. Thinking back on the year I can't help but feel like I'm the luckiest 'kid' on the face of the earth. 2008 brought many potholes and traps but everything else balanced the bad and made most things positive. I dedicate this year to my Uncle and I will always think of this year as a year to remember.I hope everyone else had a year of good and will live life to its fullest potential in 2009. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Oh boy, I'm sure feeling terrible about taking this week long cruise to the Caribbean while Olivia has to stay home. I'm feeling extremely guilty. We have had this cruise planned for about a year and a half which was before I got Olivia from the shelter. At the time I had never had another cat to call my own, the closest I had to a pet was 6 goldfish. I thought that it would be easy to have her stay with someone and I wouldn't feel even a tad bit bad. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. I know she is going to be staying with an amazingly wonderful animal-person who has an old cat &amp; little dog of her own, <br />
but I still am having a hard time even thinking about leaving my precious love-buggie with someone else while I go and have fun. :(:crybye:My goodness this is hard. I think anyone who has animals knows the pain, but I never imagined it being this difficult. I think my biggest fear is that something will happen to me on the flight there or on the flight back and I won't get home safely to my baby Ollie. I'm trying to keep my mind off of it and think positive but it's a difficult task. I think this is the end of my little blog, for now at least.</div>
