Avoid The Wreckage

Mom and Dad…both in ERs in the same day for different reasons. Dad’s okay; Mom will likely need surgery, but will be too. Been waiting here for six hours. Tomorrow is their 45th anniversary.  The cruise is canceled,  but they’ll still be together.

Limping into a weekend after a horrible week of confusion and getting ripped on for being confused in a job that’s becoming more frustrating by the day…with no relief in sight. Need a raise; couldn’t ask for one until the working late pays off.

Still short one of your best friends; now far more worried for her than angry. Healed for the most part, but….still so confused. Hope she got the painting. All you know is it was signed for. Wouldn’t have sent it if you’d realized just how much she wanted no reminders of you. Still…you just want your friend back. 

All weighing heavily on your heart. So take comfort in smaller good things… right?

The very meaning to you of May collapsed when you finally found out that you were the villain 20 years ago, not the victim. It will never be the same.

Thought your lunch date went well, but you haven’t heard anything from her since.

Had plans this weekend with your surrogate sister, one of your best friends from college you haven’t seen in far too long…likely cancelled. She’d even wanted to try to hook you up with her friend’s sister. She won’t say why…which means it’s…worth being concerned about.

Dinged back bumper of someone in traffic who was well enough to giggle about it and not even file police report, before running to the hospital and filing a claim.

Money’s tight again; house’s air conditioner needed $2000 repairs, and car needs work done. Its AC is about to go; will probably last until…June.

Whelp….. this storm’s a jackass alright.

You know what to do.

Count every last blessing. Don’t give it an inch. This is why you have joy in your heart. This is what it means to have such joy.

There is Hope in every single thing you face. Hope springs eternal. Just …hope… you’ve earned it through Wisdom…

…and save the prayers for those in your life who need them far more.

Do some good in the world this weekend. It’ll do you some good.

You got this.

Bring it.
