That's the way, isn't it? If you want to do something, it no longer is a have to. That's the one I try hard to do, embrace something for what it is. Like go to work. Or live with people I want to live with. I'm lucky to have what I have, but some days, I get out of focus with that.

The first quote could have come from me. Friends are glad that I am feeling well and people who don't like me get frustrated that I don't complain.
