Learning to Cope

I wish this was a happy entry, but I'm afraid it's not. This morning, I found out that a loved one, close to me, passed on. She was a delightful soul and I know that she is in a far better place. She taught me how to look at life as a challenge and not as an excuse to give up. She taught me that I didn't need to emulate anyone else, that I should always try to set the standard. She never once screamed at me. Yet, she set me straight when I needed to be straightened. I thank God everyday for knowing her. Words cannot describe my gratitude and love for her. I know I'll see her someday again.

My day was pretty awful, truthfully. I went to work today and had the headache of my life. I thought that I was going to go crazy from the pain. The last time I had a headache like that, I was watching a Milli Vanilli video. It was like getting kicked in the head by a horse, while someone playing an old techno song that sucks, in the background.

My boss noticed my pain and off we were to the ER. It was like a circus act for the morning. I was wheeled down the hallway for all to see. Oh...did I mention I was tossing my cookies? It's such a nice site to have your friends see you toss up your stomach contents as you're being passed by them like some cheap float at the Macy's Day Parade.

By the end of the day, my friends all knew what had happened. I love my friends. They have been there for me and I know that they'll be there for me too. At times, we tend to forget to thank those who support our stupidities and put up with our downfalls. There are times when we need to thank them, laugh with them, and tell them that they mean so much to us. As I was again reminded today, tomorrow maybe be too late. My friends know that I genuinely care for them. I would jump and help them immediately.

So folks, I'm sorry about the seriousness of this entry. It's just that I too feel the pain at times. In time, I will feel better. Thank you all for being part of my life. Keep safe and dream big...
