And back to normal...

My morning continued quite dismally with foul weather to match my mood. I managed to break my beautiful pink cell phone (or so I thought- until I went and bought a new one, upon which Mr. Motorola decided the display screen would come back to life again.)

But now that 24 hours have passed since my last post it seems a little dramatic, but it was certainly how I was feeling at the time. I was very upset- not just because I lost the place but because it was feeling like nothing was going to work out here. It still may not. Time will tell. But that is no reason to give up now. Last night I changed my email tag line to "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says ' I will try again tomorrow.' As I will...

A quote that came to mind was from CS Lewis:
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

I know deep down he is absolutely right. It may be safer to live an average life without the highs and lows, but I don't want to do it....
