A Man to Take Care of Me

A while back I was listening to a couple of ladies complain for close to 15 hours about how they deserve to be taken care of, romanced, loved, pampered etc. because they have earned it and deserve it. (It really felt like 15 hours)

I came home. Tired, worn-out, broke and a little sad.

I sat down next to a pile of bills, next to a list of household chores and projects in a dirty room looking out over a walk way that needs some shoveling and ice scrapping. I said to myself I need a man(woman in my case) to take care of me too.

Then it kind of hit me. When I do all of these things on my list without bitching and moaning I will become the person I think I need. I will be my own man.

I started to work. Even though it was hard work I no longer felt tired or worn-out. I felt the energy of action. The power of myself changing the environment around me. Changing my odds at recovery by taking my destiny in my own hands.

I wrote two quotes down that I have been looking at everyday since then.

"The only thing that over comes hard luck is hard work"

and

"Two hands working accomplish more then a million clasped in prayer"

I am action, I am becoming the person I need in my life.

And there are no words for how good it feels :)

This is a Valentines post to myself
