Looking Up...

I watched a fun movie with an old friend tonight - No Reservations. Made me smile.

I had a long, unscheduled phone call with one of my favorite people tonight. That makes me smile.

I'm going to the mountains for the weekend - time away, some with friends, some hiking, some time drinking tea in a cosy shop and writing.

On Thursday night I'm going for a walk in the park with my mom - that should be nice too.

I'm still confused, still tired, frustrated, and uncertain on many fronts. But at this moment, I'm experiencing that most elusive of things - hope. And it feels pretty good.
