More That I Don't Understand

Lately I can't help but wonder exactly when some people will stop making excuses, especially when they're lame excuses, and just do what needs to be done. I've made excuses, everyone has, but I don't make them constantly and when it gets down to the bottom line I don't bail on my responsibilities.

I wonder if parents teach their kids to suck it up and deal when life isn't exactly what they wanted or imagined. I know my mom taught us and I'm thankful for that. It made me stronger and I'm able to push through even when I don't necessarily want to. I'll be the first to admit that life can seriously suck but I'll also be the first to admit that life can be amazing and full of wonderful things if you can deal with and get past the bad. Its hard but I deal, one way or another and I'd like to think that in 20 years I wont have regrets about the way I've handled what life has thrown at me which makes me wonder if some people I know, or have known, will be able to say the same in 20 years.

More importantly I hope I'm able to teach my daughter how to push through the bad and enjoy the good.
