Day 16 – Someone or something you definitely could live without.

I could definitely live without the “Big Brother” aspect in my life. The problem when it's and insurance company paying for my disability is that I have a “daily activities calendar” to a rehabilitation coordinator. I have to report what I'm doing every hour of the “work day”. I resent having to justify my existence to someone else.

This person is also rather gung-ho on the idea of “setting goals”. For most people this might be a great idea; but, when you've grown up having your life turned upside down every few months (moving to a different house, going to a different school, getting a great big influx of new family) you learn that setting goals is setting yourself up for stress and disappointment. I have found that it is much simpler to live each day as it comes.

"Try and enjoy the here and now, the future will take care of itself somehow. The grass is never greener over there." - Howard Jones from the song Life in One Day
