23- Honeydew, Sweet As Starlight?

The title: My goddaughter has become an impressive pianist. She has a song called honeydew she plays. I listened to the professional recording of it and this grown woman just blows the song out of the water, like it's a singing competition of little kid songs or something. It's pretty weird.

Moving Right Along: To reach your full potential in life you have to suffer. Okay, I said it. I admit it. It's true. But I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. I don't mind life teaching me a lesson, until I get to the point where I can't take it anymore. I reached a breaking point yesterday, but I don't know why. There was nothing particularly different about yesterday that I haven't seen and experienced every other day this past month and half. I guess I just reached a point where I was tired of waiting. But waiting teaches patience. And I know the world would be better if we all had a little more patience. I just feel kind of like I'm in a cave etching tally marks into the wall until I get rescued. OMG, that's exactly what I'm doing. But I am learning a lot while I'm in this cave.

I've learned, this cave doesn't have to be dark.
When you're learning something about life and you're in a rut, you can knock a window into your cave.
I've learned the value of reading and self-reflection.
I learned that learning didn't end with college and that I've gained the skills set to teach myself new things.
I've learned family is really important, but you don't have to put up with them to love them.
I've learned that as a writer, I should always be writing.
As a budding funny person, I should always be practicing my impersonations.
I've learned what kind of relationships I want and don't want.
I've learned to actively pursue my relationship with God, always.

This rut is a good rut. I am now ready to get out of this rut, but it may not be entirely my decision.
