Ugh.

Really.

I'm gonna say this, but I want you to k now that I'm not happy about it because I dislike the so-called challenging things in life just as much as most people do. Oh, I see them as an opportunity - and not just because I've been enlightened to that fact, because I really do...but it's so rarely the opportunity I'd have picked for myself...maybe today will be different.

Maybe today, when the false sense of security we've apparently been entertaining, shows it's true colors, forcing us to remember that bit about "personal growth," we'll all be thrilled.

I'm hopin'.
