This week could have sucked. In fact, parts of it did. But more of it didn't. I could have canceled the two dinner parties and stayed in bed on Sunday morning instead of going to church. But more than wallowing in self pity (however justified) I instead surrounded myself with love. I laughed. I ate good food. Friends let me bend their ear. I didn't pretend like everything was "fine, fine, fine..." and yeah, I cried a lot, but I also didn't let the world end...
because it didn't end...
It is with a grateful heart that I begin this next week. Yeah, I'm raw, and really irritated that I have no say in how some of this nonsense goes down...
... but what I can do... and more importantly, what I will do is put one foot in front of the other towards the life I endeavor to have with my husband - a life over-flowing with love...
... and filled with peace.
