I like to win. I like to beat everyone I am competing against. Sometimes my biggest competitor is myself. I compete against myself more than I compete against others, which is good for a long distance runner, but not so good in other areas. It can make one crazy!
To make a long blog short, I am in second place. I keep ending up in second place when it comes to relationships. Second Dag Gum Place. Now, that used to bother me because I just told you I like to win. It used to make me feel very inadequate, wonder what my problem was. Why not me? etc... As time and age progresses I have learned to realize each time I land in second place, it's better than the second place before. Each second place gets betterer and betterer. (thank you Chirstine Caine for the word betterer.) Which makes me think, if I ended up in First, the First time, it would not have been as good as Second place the second or third time. Stay with me... draw a picture if you must. All of this to say, First Place will be oh so sweet!
