Thought of the Day

What a weekend.


Brown Eyes and I went back to his college town to visit some of his old college buddies. We had a lot of fun acting like immature college kids drinking and watching sports. I still had in the back of my mind all of the work I had to complete tonight before my journal deadline tomorrow afternoon, but I feel like the time I've spent this weekend was worth the work.

Life is different now. I miss my closest friends I lost contact with last fall dearly, but with all things in life you have to know when to let go and when to hold on. You can't force people to do things they don't want to do.

Mom is getting sicker. I can't tell you how hard it is to call her and hear about the myriad of physical problems she is experiencing. To make things worse,  she keeps reminding me that she won't be around forever.

There's a verse in the Bible that says there is a season for all things- a time for peace and a time for war. A time to laugh and a time to cry. A time to live, and a time to die. I just hope that time can hold otu a little longer. There are so many things I want to share with my mom before the seasons change for good.

Seasonal,
