It’s something I am working on this year, and ties in with some work on assertiveness. Finding the balance between assertive and rude, and in the other direction between assertive and doormat. I’m still thinking about that one!

What kind of [Person] do [I] Want to Be?

By the time I get up to my bed each night I am usually too tired to write a lot or go into great detail or either I have just plain forgotten the funny stuff that has happened

My desire to not want them is stronger than my desire to have them

Am I looking for a life of excitement because I lack one, or because I have calloused my heart to the small joys around me in search of a greater joy somewhere else?
