Relaxed

I'm oddly peaceful and at rest at the moment.

(Actually, I have been all day - underneath the frenetic frustration my job inspires at the moment.)

I went for a massage tonight. So nice.

I did have to laugh though. I've been far more stressed in the three or so months since I last had a massage than anytime in the last couple years. But my massage therapist commented that my muscles were actually quite a bit "looser" than normal. How does that work??

One more day until the weekend.

Today I can almost believe that spring (literally and figuratively) is coming.

Another Day, Another Try

I'm discovering that it's really hard to love someone who can take you from perfectly calm to spitting mad in less than two minutes.

I'm discovering that it takes a lot of concious thought to come up with positives about someone who can make you mad simply by existing.

I'm discovering that the best I can manage "pray for those who persecute you" at the moment is a growled "bless her" through clenched teeth.

And I'm grateful for the grace that means I get to keep trying, even after moments of failing miserably.
