So Bad, So Good, But So Far, So Good
This week has brought some of the worst events to befall me—ever. This week has also brought the single best offer I've gotten—ever.
The two are not at all related.
How to reconcile, how to reconcile? I have no idea. I'm to exhausted too celebrate anything at all; I get excited about the good stuff but then some small thing flashes white-hot misery into my vision like a matchbook set aflame.
Maybe I shouldn't be operating heavy machinery, but my brain won't stop operating all on its own. Sometimes I want to make it stop, but I'm afraid that stopping won't stop anything at all. Or it will stop too much.
I'm whistling past my own graveyard.

You need a vacation. But where to go? Oh, gosh, I'm fresh out of ideas... (wink, wink)
Breathe! Get mom and dad and Sam to give you a group hug... I can't imagine how your head must be spinning. Remember, the change swirling around you doesn't change who you are.
Take a still moment and reflect on who you are and where you've been. Take a moment to realize that the people in your life, who truly love you, still love you today as much as they did last week, last month, and last year.
Then, after you're centered, look out again. Rejoice in the good news and grow from the challenges.
Hugs.
