Today marks day two of remembering that I even have a blog (woot!)....I seem to remember my ex telling me what "blog" stands for, but I cannot for the life of me remember...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I was thinking recently about how annoyed I am at people who refuse to entertain possibilities of a better life. Now, don't get me wrong, I understand that some people do not have opportunities or resources that they can utilize to change the direction in which they are headed in life. However, there is an occassional person or two that really does have the luxury of refusing to complain about their "lot in life" and start making personal decisions that can move them forward, even if just an inch, to the life that they would like to be living. It sometimes irritates me when they refuse to see the possibilities, and they limit themselves and those around them to a dreary and miserable existance because, sigh, life handed them a raw deal.
