There are days...

that are better than others, sure. Days when the sky just looks bluer. When something about how the colors reflect that reminds you of another time in your life--a less complicated time, sure...but maybe not as sweet. I become overwhelmed with things. The idea of bringing up two good girls is a lot. To provide a loving and organized home is a lot. To keep your cool when your child is trying your patience is a lot. However, these are good times. The love in the marriage is good. The friendship in the marriage is good. The health of your children is good. The roof over your head...may leak at times, but it is stable. Our walls are not caving in...not yet. We do have some health concerns in our family that we are trying to deal with...but the best we can do is be positive and see what happens. That's all anyone can do, right? Worrying doesn't do any good.

Snow fell overnight and it made a nice downy cover over the yard and the trees. It's clean and hopeful. I am on the phone with some that are having a hell of a time right now. They're in a shitty marriage or relationship...their health is failing...they don't know where to turn. All I can do is be here.
