Steady Now
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
I found myself incapable today—dropping things, losing things, driving the wrong way in a parking lot where the arrows seemed, uniformly and inexplicably, to be pointed the wrong way.
I found no lift for the tango, no energy for the book I'm reading, no time to think, and I know the organic chicken is too expensive, but honestly, I wish I had bought it for the meal tonight. It would have made the day's end so much better.
Today I could have used an older brother's steadying arm.

I'm having an evening like that, Beth.
I hope we can steady each other.
I loathe those days.
Since I just finished Undercover I have to quote at you...
"so many things seem filled with the intent/to be lost that their loss is no disaster."
No?
I hope you can take a long walk to breathe and look and not think too much and refind your balance, or something of the sort.
tomorrow will be better.
Those who are lucky enough to have older brothers can have those rescued days, and yet they, just like those of us who don't have older brothers, have your kind of days as well. Luckily, nothing as small as one day in our lives can define the whole of who we are. And I believe it is now time to quote from ANNIE:
"The sun'll come out tomorrow / Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow / there'll be sun"
:)
On another note, Doylestown, PA?? That's on my way home from school, and I am going home that Friday. Perhaps I will get to meet you??
You guys are too much. (And much loved.)
Just back from my vacation I am finding myself needing to be re-oriented in my own home...
Waking up and for a split second not knowig where you are.
Pressing the wrong keys on the remote.
Thinking for a second before answering the phone.

Those days are hard. Hope things improve. Thinking of you!!
Here, Beth...if love is a healing aid, take mine. My arm may not be as strong or steady as an older brother's, but there is strength in friendship, too, y'know?
My thoughts are with you. Stay steady--you have a bunch of sisters around here, keeping you strong. Hugs.
Everyone I know is having this experience. 2009 is testing us all...but we will prevail...
Sending (((hugs))).
