My six word memoir:

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

For the past year, Jeff, Max and I have lived with Jeff's Mom and Dad. It's been a great opportunity for us to live here, to recover from our horrible house situation in Maricopa, and to get back on our feet while Jeff finds a full-time job. In addition to it being a great opportunity, I've had a hard time living here. I've had a bad attitude, and for a year, what could have been an amazing opportunity, for a lot of it, I sequestered myself into a cave with my bad attitude. More recently, I've realized my fault (regardless of how many times Jeff tried to get me to realize it) and I've tried my best to enjoy the situation... and how amazing-- I'm actually having fun. So, my six word memoir is not an all-encompassing memoir for my entire life, but my life right now. There's nothing I can do to speed the process along with Jeff trying to find a full-time job, and moving on, so I may as well have fun in the place I am. Max and I do fun things, Max and Grandma do fun things, and Cheryl and I have been doing a lot of projects together: and since we're all having fun, time is FLyINg!! I can't believe that we've lived here for almost a year. It's true that you can't change your situation, but you CAN change your attitude.
