Hanging In There

Well, I'm not going to lie to you. The past few days have been one
crisis after the next - can't really go into details but one thing I
can say is that I have two kids home with the flu (diagnosed.) And
that's the easy part of the past 2 days. So, truth be told, I'm
feeling a wee bit uninspired. (and uninspiring.) Let's hope that
whoever is reading this, can take a tiny bit of strength from knowing
that life is usually not as bad as you might think it is. Today I
found gratitude in the fact that I wasn't being sentenced to prison
for 40 years - that would be a drag. I still have my health, my
family, my home...one daily e-mail subscription that I received today
said to think of life as a road trip and to notice the things passing
by. My response was, "Well, if I'm on a road trip, then I'm stuck in
traffic in Detroit right now." But I've never really been to
Detroit, so no offense, just fill in the blank of any nasty place
you've ever driven through...like Juarez or something...right at the
border where it's really seedy and dangerous and scary... Luckily,
I've got my seat belt on! Stay tuned for the next destination! hah
