I'm watching the 6:00 News right now, listening to them discuss the successful mission to kill Osama Bin Laden which happened late last night. I'm not a very political person by any mean and I am finding out that I'm way more of a humanitarian than I ever thought I was. However, the death of this one person has served as justice for much of the country. The media has ranked this historic moment as significant as September 11, 2011, itself. It has certainly stirred up the emotions of that day and I'm assuming, one day, emotions of this day will too be stirred up as an "I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard the news" moment. It's amazing to see the patriotism throughout the country. It's almost as strong as it was on 9/11. It's too bad we aren't that appreciative and patriotic all the time.
On a lighter note, some exciting things are happening in the next few weeks...well, exciting for me! This Saturday is the Naples Junior's Derby Dash. I still have no dress and no hat but I am definitely getting exciting for it. The following weekend, by best friend is finally getting married. I better step up my wardrobe game since I'm not sure what I'll be wearing to that event either.
I'm finally taking the next step in this chapter of my life by moving...again :) I know, I know. I feel like all I do is move too but hopefully this will be the last time for a while. I'll be further from work but closer to my sisters and back in my own with my own space. Like music to my ears. For the next few weeks I'll be packing up and getting ready for a "one trip move" which is the only way I will move- in one trip- no matter how many car fulls it takes, I refuse to go back and fourth.
The past few weeks I have sat back and realized those who are so unbelievably significant in my life and those who aren't. I know I've said it before and I honestly do believe it but sometimes acting is much more difficult than believing. As always, there comes a moment where the realization hits you and you find the strength to cut ties with those who have continued to linger around, really, for no reason. Those you haven't trusted or respected or gave a second thought in years. Those who have said and done horrible things, yet you've always found it in you to forgive them but for what? Really, no reason. Those kinds of people will never change and will always be just "a little bit different" and "never better than what they've been," as my mother would say. Regardless of what they are, what they do or what they say, it doesn't effect me one way or the other. I'm sure they'll continue to say what they want but I'll never hear it. It feels wonderful to rid myself of people who aren't headed the same direction as I am; from those who bring nothing to a relationship; from those who don't benefit me in the least. It's a good feeling to know who you are, where you're going and that my day in the sun is not far off.
