Lessons from THE WIRE

"It's not that you do SH**. It's how you do SH**"

I was thinking about current events and suddenly that qupte came to mind. It is SO true because truthfully so may situations could have had a much better outcome if the individuals involved had a different m.o.

Trust

I have never been very trusting. I tried once with the wrong person but you should never do anything that your heart tells you not to. Needless to say, this did not go well. The Bible had some comments on trust that I thought were interesting.

I didn't even have to use my A.K.

Today was a good day.

Have you ever had a day where you were just satisfied with yourself and with life. I don't get those too often, I'm half obsessive compulsive with perfectionist and narcissistic tendencies. So yeah...Most days are a battle. But today I got a breath of fresh air when after mincing my words for a long while I finally snapped, got an interview for higher pay at my current job received my first supplemental application for Medical School and finally completed officially the last 4.5 units of my Masters. Oh yes today was a good day.
