"I would rather spend my life close to the birds than waste it wishing I had wings"
I heard this on an episode of House. It struck quite a chord within me. So much of my life has been wasted wishing for things and so much time have been wasted being disappointed. It's really time I just be happy with what I have. Yes, this attitude and mindset is probably not gonna get me anywhere nor make me fight for things I desire, but at least it's gonna keep me happy... happy with what I currently have at least.
December's half gone and it has been a good month. Minus the wretched results, which I sorely deserve, everything else has been plain sailing. No drama, no mind blending happenings, just December... the company of friends, the family, TV shows and movies. Though I feel very isolated from the shopping this year, I don't feel as though I'm missing much on it either. It's a good thing. I've bled enough money this entire year, especially with an Euro holiday and 7 months of bumming.
The clock will tick down, and 2011 will come...
Here's to not asking for too much no matter how badly I want it.
