Never make someone a priority when they only make you an option

I don't know who said this, but this is my new outlook on life in general.  After lunch with a really great friend I realized I was doing just that.  I was allowing myself to be merely an option to a few people.  After a lot of thinking, I've decided I'm no longer going to be an option.  I WILL BE A PRIORITY!  Sorry for the caps but it's like one of those sudden epiphanies. :D  I'm focusing on me and my kids, and letting everything else fall into place.
