Something learned:
An online friend was asking for relationship advice, because she felt like she was more invested than the other person in a relationship, and thus feeling like she's not as important to the other as they are to her.
It is a little frightening how close to home that description hits -- it could have been me saying that same thing in 2000. And in hindsight, the solution seems so simple -- to not make another person the source of your happiness. Happiness needs to come from within you. A good relationship enhances the strong foundation that comes from inside yourself, the relationship is not the foundation. Friends at the time only said "love yourself" and while they were not wrong, I wish they could have explained it a little better.
Today I was thankful for:
1. Kid being proud of herself for using her allowance to make a purchase on her own for the first time
2. My manager saying it'll be OK for me to attend a conference in SC
3. Srirarcha being back in stock in the cafeteria
4. Brownie dessert at work
5. Chocolate ice cream at home
Looking forward to:
I found a bunch of instructional tap videos online. Gonna try and learn :D
