I'm Tired Of Eating The Weeds.

Went to an awards night at my oldest daughter's school last night.. it was mainly for scholarships for the senior class... but there were awards given to students in the other grades with the highest average in the subjects given... my daughter won the Pre-algebra award... I told her that I was proud of her.. I was a math wizard in school myself.. so I think she gets that from me.. my spouse rode in the back seat of the car with her.. as she always does.. either she just doesn't like sitting next to me.. or she knows I'm not comfortable sitting next to her anymore... anyway.. it came.. and went.. and I think it was a good thing for me to be there to support my daughter.. I do love her very, very much.  I enjoyed being out for a bit in the evening.. even if a bit of it was spent driving.  I will look for more opportunities to go out... if only local..sometimes it's just difficult to make the time.. but.. no one says anything in life is easy.. especially those things that matter most.  I am trying to develop my positive attitude.. we'll see how that goes.. that doesn't mean I'll be making any major life changes.. but it's a good thing to pick a thing or two that is within our power to control.. and start with that.. no matter how small.. Too many times we get mucked down by so many little things.. we can't make those major changes until we make the smaller changes.. life is like a garden... if you don't keep it weeded.. you will be stifled out.. and won't be able to grow.. and before you can reap the rewards.. you have to clear away the weeds.. well. I've still got all kinds of weeds from my past.. and more weeds grow every day.. I have to be careful though.. I've been known to kill a plant or two by not being careful about my weeding skills.  I will continue to work my garden.. and try to make it fruitful.  I'm tired of eating the weeds.
