The Beginning.....

My Diary

All I do is run...
She's so slow...
She's tempermental...
I'm tired...
I'm exhausted...
I hate sitting in Dr's offices...
I hate waiting in hospitals...

I know I'm a good person, a nice person, a caring person, but not a great person.  How could I be if I have these ramblings?  What do I need to do to be a great person?  To not complain about the cards that I've drawn in this life?  To be happier, more rested, have more patience???

    It must be pretty lonely to care for another person without
    any extra help.

    You are a good person
