As the day wore on, I realized some things:
-I need to love myself more. Period. It is not selfish to love yourself and to put yourself first if you do not hurt anyone else.
-Every Second of Everyday Everyone does exactly what He Wants. I do have choices here and there. I make many of them all the time. The challenge is to make the right ones.
-The character of Stephanie Douglas Forrester on "The Bold and the Beautiful" is a pretty smart lady when she is not controlling everyone's lives.

I wish that I could be that but I am not.
