I want to learn to rely on people less. I don't mean it in an overdramatic or self-pitying or cynical way, but just in the understanding that if people and their actions are always where I find my motivation and energy, then I will set myself up for disappointment. I mean, my life is full of so many great people and I couldn't really imagine being any more blessed. But even the best friends can let you down. Not intentionally or frequently or usually even consciously. I do it. Wish I didn't, but, crap. We are human and we fail sometimes.
All I'm thinking is that as thankful as I am for the people around me and the encouragement I get from them (which I definitely couldn't get by without), they can't be
the source of my joy in life. You know? OK.
And, here's a photo from my most recent drive across Kansas.

Is it kind of cheesy? Sorry.
