Although it is 100 degrees outside, I am feeling like this is an all weather day. One that starts out with all the promise of a bright and glorious day, only to have the dark clouds move in and unleash it's violent storm, followed by the aftermath of calm and sunshine slicing through the dark to help illuminate our path once again. This is a great description of a day in my life. I won't say that it is a horrible day, because it's not, nor a sad day, because it's not. It just had some very sad, disappointing moments. I am grateful to a good friend that felt it important enough to come have a good laugh and therapy session with me over a sandwich. I'm grateful for daughters that either emphasized with me, or created distractions. I am grateful for an incredible husband who hurts along with me and is my committed partner. What would we do without human connections discussing the human condition? I am grateful of the crazy antics of my dogs, who will curl up next to me and let me cuddle with them. I try to look for the tiny miracles that happen in each of our lives everyday, and today those miracles took the form of many listening hearts, whether it be man or beast, and helped me to see the bright spots of sunshine bursting it's way through darkened skies. This may indeed be the miracle that I've been praying for, just not the one that I've been envisioning.
