Makes you hate me, right?

By now you're probably pretty sick of reading all of these similarly-themed posts. Let me just add another one while I'm at it then:

I am grateful that I can change the course of my life. I am grateful to be able to learn from my foolish decisions, and even my not-so foolish ones. I don't feel I should be penalized for them now that I have moved on. I should not be in trouble for being happy and I shouldn't have to feel bad for feeling good.

That being said, today was looooong. (certainly I did not have the longest day like some others, but it was significant).

Gym, work for a few hours, preparing a song for caroling w/Dad, caroling w/family, hanging out with Molly. Lots of stuff. The end of the evening was nice :)

I am grateful to my parents for providing opportunities for us to bond as a family. I just wish I had been in a more receiving mood for that tonight. I do feel regret for having a poor attitude at first. Hopefully I can improve on that soon.

I'm trying hard not to start counting down until my departure. It's not bad because I'm going to a great place where I need to be. I just wish it wasn't going to be so hard.
