words of wisdom

From my wise friend Anne:

"At least the craziness and heartache and bullshit of being a parent is the most worthwhile kind of crap. It sure beats the bullshit of working and the heartache of dealing with idiots who aren't your beloved family."

This is the same friend that advised me to go on a soul-searching journey when I was between jobs. "What you have now is time. You can always get more money, but you can't get more time."

Everyone should have this kind of friend.
