Righty-o.  As you can tell, my homework isn’t doing that marvelous.  Actually, I went home and fell asleep.

My mom and sisters are at yet another bridal shower.  Last night, at the shower at my grandmother’s, someone who will, mercifully, remain unnamed, smiled at me sweetly and said, “So, how does it feel to have no one want you?”

Ouch.

I smiled back and replied, “Like a core of steel.”

No matter how cruel the comment, there was a lot of truth there.  No one does want me.  I am not particularly charming, talented, useful, or easy to be with.  There is no one out there in the world thinking, “If only I had Sara…”

Yet there was a lot of truth in my comment, too.  I may be unwanted.  I may be exhausted.  I may have everything in my life going wrong right now, but I am strong.  When everything else is stripped away, everything I hold dear, everything I take for granted, I am left with nothing but myself.

And I am enough.

Also, I am going to Wal-Mart and then to bed until sometime tomorrow night.

Sara–out.
