Give Thanks with a Greatful Heart.... and an Apology
I'm not exactly sure where to begin or who to address. Honestly, I'm not even entirely sure about what I want to say.
Throughout the past several weeks I have been quite the "Debbie-Downer." Whenever anyone has asked me how I'm doing I've always figured out a way to slide in a bit about how much I dislike this or that, and made a point to say something about how I really just wish I could be done with school.
I fear that perhaps I may have somehow infected others with this mindset. Afterall, misery loves company, right? And even if this is not so, no one wants to listen to someone complaining all the time.
This is not who I am. A friend even said to me yesterday "that's not the Katie I know" in the midst of a conversation. And she's right. I don't know what's come over me lately, but looking back now I'm somewhat embarssed as to how I have handled and portrayed myself this quarter.
All this goes to say, to those of you who have taken the time and the energy to stick with it and listen to my moans and complaints, THANK YOU. I don't deserve friends as great as you. For those of you who have pointed out how out of character this is for me THANK YOU. I tend to lose sight of myself every once and again, and often need a good swift kick in the rear to get me thinking clearly again.
Finally, a sincere apology for my pigheadedness and aversion to looking on the brighter side lately, I'm sure it's been far from enjoyable to listen to me all this time. I'll try and remember to mention some good things every now and then and tone down the complaining rampages a bit. Again, THANK YOU to all of you who may know what I'm even rambling on about :)
