Life certainly has its way of interrupting, doesn't it? I've been thinking about so many things, but they haven't developed into enough of a solid thought to get it out there. I was on a little bit of double duty again last week, and was left feeling a little exhausted, so you haven't heard from me for a while. I've been quiet on everything, including my social media, until a few days ago.
Speaking of SM, I had an interaction the other day when someone misinterpreted my Tweet-delete-Tweet again (those of you who long for an edit option know the struggle) as an expression of being upset. I wasn't sure exactly if it was strictly that, or my word usage--I know I can come across strong to some people, or if it was a simple thing such as this weird issue the teens seem to have with punctuation. Whatever it was, I had a good laugh over it with my friends:
FYI for those who don't understand my humor, that was super sarcastic. Anyway, that got me laughing, and apparently didn't stop when I reposted this:
Sometimes it takes a while to get serious again. Just saying.
This week has been generally good for me from the beginning. I felt a lot of optimism and really felt like some good things were coming. Good sign number one was that the double duty I thought I'd have to continue to do on Monday turned out not to be the case. Number two, the announcement came out on Tuesday that some of the things I was hoping for with my upcoming trip were going to happen. Third, I'm still in budget despite the things I've had to get lately. Life is going just dandy for me. I'm happy to see that things are going so well.
In saying that, I can't ignore entirely that there are things out there that are going significantly wrong for others, some going through things I fortunately haven't had to experience. I wish I could spread the message of hope in an appropriate manner to help comfort. Sometimes, it's hard to see or accept those messages when the ugly reality of life's dark side has taken over, but I hope in time those things will become easier to grasp. May we all have hope and the blessing of comfort in our moments of joy, and in our moments of sorrow.
