I do get caught up in the hard things in my life right now and have a hard time focusing on the things I can change, instead of the things I can't. I have let it embitter me and change me, and I am not fond of the person I have become. I really need to improve on that front. Thank you for the gentle reminder, Crystal. You are a true friend.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01610100693262021554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-38541546402637676242013-04-30T13:55:34.169-04:002013-04-30T13:55:34.169-04:00LOL!
