Boredom?

I wrote this a few weeks ago when I was feeling a bit . . . down in the dumps, for lack of a better phrase. I missed my family, my friends, and my (former) home. I've been feeling a lot better about things lately (probably because I leave the apartment at least once a week) but I thought I'd post it anyway.

As a result of having too much quiet time to myself, I've been catching up on what people are doing. I see pictures of friends on vacation, read about the jobs and travels of others and find myself getting a bit envious.

Increasingly lately I've been playing the "What if . . . ?" game. Macy is generally the key subject in this game.

Today I came to a realization. If we didn't have Macy we would still be here in Texas. We would still be unable to travel this summer because of Greg's job requirements. I would probably still be unemployed. Perhaps most importantly, my life would be very empty. Macy has changed my life in so many good ways. I feel more confident and comfortable in new situations, I'm responding much better to others and being much more open and friendly as a result. I'm a better and happier person.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
