Another opening, another show,
There's no business like show business,
With a special kind of people known as show people.

1/13/17 Even Donald Trump
A thought rather abruptly entered my mind today while I was on one of my many commutes:
God loves even Donald Trump.
What. Oh.... yeah, I guess so.
It came as a shock, and then a relief. The shock factor: I don't like him, I don't trust him, I'm rather anxious about where our country is going to be led over the next span of time. Which is not all his fault or responsibility and I know that. But as the figurehead, he's going to get the blame.
The relief though? That for all of our human worries and judgments, there is a greater force who knows something we don't necessarily recognize - a greater force who is willing to offer redemption.
For all of the terrible things people may be feeling or going through, there is a greater force that is in control.
So I will hold onto that and the love I feel from it; I will offer the kindness it offers me to the world, to give hope. Human beings, as much as we can try, we will fail to love and be kind. But there is something greater, for me it is God, who always can and always will offer true love, to the last moment.
That love is for everyone. Even Donald Trump.

Turn the Day Around
Sometimes the smallest thing can turn the day around.
I'm going to be a wife (!) in just over 5 months (!!). And lots of people want to celebrate that, even strangers. :)
Don't be afraid to celebrate people out loud - you never know when you can have a positive effect.

1/10/17 - Counting Blessings
Today happened. I'm busy and tired.
But I'm blessed with work and love and a place to rest my head.
Trying not to complain too much.

Worry
Worry has me awake,
Holding me firm, shaking me fast.
Nasty news of troubled times.
I try to tell myself it's always troubled times,
But this time it seems too terrible.
Dystopian novels seem presently prophetic.
I hope for fiction, a final page,
A happy ending.

Good Day
This was simply a good day - the kind that could happen over and over again with minor variations and I don't think I would complain. A little work, a little music, a little worship, good food, pleasant company, grey and rainy (though in my opinion, not dreary) weather....
My heart is content in all things, at least for today. What more can I ask for?
