Reenie's Ramblings

"Man, sure must be nice!" he said as I left early to head out on a road trip. I bit my tongue and just smiled and continued on my way. "Sure wish I could leave early and go on trips!" In my head I screamed, "You CAN! It's just not a priority to you!" Folks, there's something that has been brewing within me for a while and it's frustration at this idea "must be nice" whenever someone is experiencing something different than you. It IS nice to be able to leave early from work sometimes. It IS nice to go on a road trip. Do you know what it takes to get there? Work. Planning. Sometimes it means sacrificing for a long time first. If you aren't willing for those things, you probably won't experience the perks. Sometimes it is discouraging how little people see of the work it takes to reach something. Leave work early on a friday, receive comments. Those same people commenting didn't see you working an extra 3 hours monday evenin
