9 Days Of Freedom

Not only is today Drink Race 2000 day, it is the start of my vacation. Let's hear it for vacations! Plus, not only is this my vacation, next week is my birthday. Let's hear it for 40! I'm not one of those people who insist on being 39 until they retire and start sucking up Social Security. I'm going to be 40, and I like it. In Will Wheaton's blog he had an entry where he talked about finally being completely happy with his life, and I feel the same way. Not everything is perfect, but perfection is highly overrated.

If you can't enjoy where you are right now in your life, what are you doing about it? Just whining and pouting? Some things you just can't change. Learn to live with it. Find something that makes you happy and run with it. Don't like your job? I've got a news flash for you, Lincoln freed the slaves. Don't like your house? Redecorate, move, vacuum. Something, anything. If you're not happy, don't wait for some Fairy Godmother to come wave her magic wand and make it all better. Prince Charming isn't coming.
