Yesterday, I decided to fix the driveway.  It had somewhat of a "speedbump"-type thing right at the top of the hill you have to drive up to get to my house.  It served no purpose but to annoy, and it had to go. 

I grabbed some gloves, a shovel, a hoe, and a rake.  It was slow-going, but I was making progress.  I didn't even notice the giant blisters on my hands until I stopped to get some water.  But that didn't stop me.  I made up my mind that it was not going to bother me anymore, so determination won out over pain.  By the end of the day there was no more mountain, just a mole-hill.   

Funny how life works out that way.  When we decide that enough is enough, we stick to our convictions and conquer.  I guess that's the answer to my previous blog about the "ex situation."  I know that I love my boyfriend, and no girl is gonna take that away from me. No matter how painful she tries to make me feel, I will tough it out.  He's that worth it to me. 

In the end, that's what it all boils down to...is it worth the pain to find the peace?
