Retrospect is a great thing. It helps us realize that each of us has tipping points and the intensity of our reactions may not be directly proportional to the tipping event - rather to the enormity of the "big picture."
For several months now, I have been holding the seams of my world together with fine-spun thread... last night, the thread broke. What's important for me to remember is that I did not break. This morning I woke up and began my day as I will begin many more to come. The earth did not tip off its axis, the sun did not stop shining... it just appears a little less bright to my weary eyes. I'm sure that a day will come in the not-too-distant future when I will look around me and see a beautiful day and the sun's rays will have returned to their former glory. That is what hope is all about.
Thanks to my friends for supporting me in the valley. I promise to invite you all to the mountaintop!
