Chance encounters

I encountered someone this evening that I hadn't expected to ever see again. Just seeing her reminded me in vivid detail and sharp contrast how much I have not accomplished in the, oh, almost exactly six years since we were last hanging out together regularly.

I suppose I should note, lest subtlety overwhelm my meaning, that I am not taking it very well, and that in general this does not bode well.
I could just say that I can't get to sleep, or that I don't feel very well, but since both of those phrases describe me quite often, I will, it seems, leave it to the audience's imagination what effect this may have on me.

This is not a fun-to-read or thought-provoking journal entry. My apologies to all who may be disappointed. Please see the front desk for a full refund.

Accomplished?

As your students and Bonnie about what you've accomplished. Ask your friends what you've succeeded in doing for them. If everyone you meet, touch or greet gets even one tenth of the support you've given me, that in itself is something you should be damned proud of.

A person's success is not measured in posessions. Money. Job. House. Kids. Car.

It's measured in their actions. Yours are quite excellant, my friend. You have nothing to feel down about.
