In a Valley

Today is a much better day than any day this week has been and I'm attributing it to the full nine hours of sleep I got last night--the first full nine hours since probably long before Memorial Day weekend. My body fought that nine hours though, waking me up after the four or five its gotten accustomed to this summer. It's been a busy summer, with traveling every weekend and tons of fun and until Sunday it had been a quiet summer on the emotional drama front.

But when it rains it pours, and this week has been no exception. I cannot morally go into all of the things that are storming down right now; storms that are ravishing not only my own life, but the lives of the people I love around me. But let it be said that these are some serious issues, and that if you are a believer of any kind, even if it's not necessarily in a God...that now would be a perfect time to offer up some prayers for my family and for my friends. Let it also be said that I would not ask unless it was absolutely necessary. Without the valleys, the view from the hills would be a lot less beautiful, at least that is what I'm going to continue to tell myself until this all blows over.
