Realization

The last few weeks i've been working on.... me.  I have come to the realization that I am far, far, far from where I want to be, but i'm closer then I was to getting there.  Marrying Jans was the best thing I could've ever done for me!  He encourages me to be better, to take time for myself, and to do what is best for me.  I didn't know when I married him that he would encourage me to slow down and enjoy life instead of running through it.  Its sad when I don't remember day to day anything significant about my days so I am trying to live in the moment, slow down, look up when I walk so I can see the beauty that is around me.  

The other thing I learned while reading 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is that you can't make and keep promises to others until you can make and keep promises to yourself.  I prefer keeping promises to others but realize that it hurts me.  I need to keep promises to me first.
