...

I am absolutely exhausted this week. It seems as though it passed in the blink of an eye. I find it hard to believe that my last entry was last Saturday. This week has really made me think about how time evaporates before our eyes. I know that I am getting older because my friends are all worried about their health, marital relationships etc. I talked to one friend who was having a myriad of tests done to determine whether or not he has a serious illness. Then my brother went to the doctor this week complaining of excruciating headaches, paranoid that he might have a tumor. I am also concerned about my own health these days. I need to go in and have a breast exam to assuage any fears of possible breast cancer, as it has negatively effected members of my family. I do my part to exercise and eat healthy but I know that chance also plays a huge role in determining my fate. Therefore, this week has been a bit somber.

Two days ago my friend texted me to tell me that her live-in boyfriend was receiving texts from another woman. My advice was for her to investigate further to determine whether or not her boyfriend was being unfaithful. She said that she would rather not know. I suppose she believes that ignorance is bliss, and perhaps it is. I know that sometimes things are not always as they appear. Love is so strange to me. Completely irrational and insane.

Today I met the most amazing child. He was so interesting, kind and beautiful. I spent my day with him on what was supposed to be my day off. He was happy with the simplest things and exuded joy at every moment. This feeling is what we lose as adults sometimes and have to be mindful to experience on a daily basis. The day ended with me giving him a Pokemon coin. He was elated.


When I got home I helped the girls with their homework, read them books, and then watched The Wizard of Oz with them. The night ended with me arguing with Chris...talk about a buzz kill. Sometimes I wonder if we share the same vision.

Next, I sleep perchance to dream...
