Can it be over a year? I'm hoping that my dedicated reader(s)( Judy)haven't just crossed me off. I have stored up lots of trash to rehash, and I plan to do it right here at farm day.
A friend of mine died recently from cancer. I didn't realize how very bad off she was until she entered a respite house. Her oldest son used to be Jordan's best friend, but since they don't play much any more, I hadn't really kept in touch with her. At her memorial service, I was impressed with how happy she had always made everyone feel. It made me double my efforts to keep life in perspective and to be a positive force at all times. The other thing that struck me at the memorial service was how bad the minister was at this sort of thing, and that like all other things in life, you still have to spend some time choosing your representation, even if you're dead. Then again, at that point I suppose it doesn't matter.
My effort to be positve at all times has been thwarted, as you can see. And my effort to keep things in perspective has also been messed up by goings on at work. It's true that you know when you've hit bottom, when the only light you can see is way up beyond your reach.
