My life is very confusing sometimes. Well, maybe not confusing. Ok, a little confusing. Ya see?

There are some things that I know for sure, as Oprah would say. I know about my Faith, what I believe, and I try to walk that out. I know who I love, and I also know who loves me. That's a good one, because people will say they love you. I am not confused about that one.

I know that there is nothing more beautiful than a night sky full of stars. It is perfect. God is big.

I know that most people just want to be heard and understood a little bit. Everybody has something to say, and if you look into someones's eyes and listen, you'll hear it. It heals the speaker and the listener.

I know that my chocolate lab is really not thinking complex thoughts. She just wants food and affection and food. That is it.

I know that every moment has a joy, but sadness is always looming. I have seen this too many times to pretend it's not there. I just try to be prepared somewhat. I was having a happy day a while back, and Bradley said something like "be careful, Mom". I told him that I realize that while I am so happily dancing around, there is certainly a baseball bat swinging around from behind me about to take out my legs. I will just enjoy the moment until impact. (The bat hit the next day. It was a good swing.) Oh well.

I know that I will survive the divorce I am experiencing. I will. I have know idea what I will look like on the other side. Hopefully wiser and resolute. Maybe cuter somehow. I will work on that.

I know I love you, whoever you are, for reading about me. I am amazed that you do. It's a kind thing to regard me. I don't take it lightly. Thanks.
