| The past year has been the darkest of my entire life and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing a light in the distance. I think it's a candle held by my precious Zoosergirl, who will be coming home next week for four whole months. I'm trying not to think that this may be the last long stretch in which we ever live together. I'm grateful that she has chosen to make me a regular and joyful part of her life. I'm grateful that Zoosersister has retired the black eyeliner and may be emerging into a more mature style. I'm grateful that for the first time in our lives all three of my kids are in the perfect educational setting. I'm grateful to still be in love with the same man for more than 25 years together. Yessiree Bob (I've always wanted to say that) life is good. |
