I use to make the mistake of telling people what I want. Actually - now that I think about it - my mistake started before that. I think it began with the mentality that there were some things other people HAD to buy/do for me in order for that thing to be of any real significance/value to me. Example: For years, I wanted a charm bracelet. I was watching General Hospital and Sonny Corinthos gave Carly one.

Nothing pumps me up like a new day full of endless possibilities for greatness and joy and abundance and everything great. ??? But the truth is, the reason I don't dread mornings so much is because I take care of most of the A.M idiosyncrasies at night.
