I haven't seen so many South Carolina license plates in a while. It's fun. I got Marble Slab ice cream tonight, and was silly with my sister in Target :). Plus, I played in the park with my favorite little boys.
I realized today that I feel like people often question my decisions, or criticize. One or the other. And I don't really get it. Do I not often make sense? I like my decisions, but it's annoying to always have to defend them.
I started reading "Nights of Rain and Stars" for the second time on the plane today. There was one part where a girl had gotten really ill, and later apologized to the woman who took care of her about the mess. This woman replied that it wasn't a big deal, the important thing was that she felt better, and that she should know this since she was a nurse. That struck me. It's really the mindset we should have. The labor that goes into something is not as important as the end result.
I really love this book. It makes me laugh, cry, smile, and think. That's pretty neat to have all in one book (that really isn't too long). The main theme of the book seems to be that it's often so easy to see and fix other people's problems or dilemmas, but very hard to take advice/suggestions/criticisms on your own life and to fix your own conflicts. It's something very important to remember.
After a day of travelling, I'm exhausted. Tomorrow, I get to cook for my mom's meeting. I'm excited :).
