I didn't want to be in such a bad mood, but I was.
I felt like leaving the research session.

We had a good discussion in the car on the way back.

Marriage isn't for the faint hearted.

We watched Gone with the Wind tonight. It totally made me squirm.

Thursdays are quickly becoming the busiest days. Even so, there are quiet moments, sweet little pockets in the day.

I haven't been going to bed because my cough keeps me awake and is worse when I lay down. I was planning to skip my homework this week, but ended up doing it last night between 2 and 3am. When I handed it in today, I realized it was really rambling. Oh, well. Hopefully my teacher can get through it.

I'm so grateful, as I've been saying a lot lately, for really good, sustaining friendships.

They say it might snow tomorrow. I hope it does.

I felt like I wasted this day, until the late afternoon at the pool where I felt present with my children and so content. Even though I have worked on it for more than five years, being alive in the moment is still a day by day, minute by minute challenge. I guess that is how the work of life is. If it were so easy, then it would never be necessary to be conscious of it.

Such a gray, gray day. We waited all morning for Marlo to come, but I realized later I had the date wrong. We ended up inviting friends over for an impromptu dinner. I made meatloaf, they brought baked potatoes. Listen, there is nothing like a friend like that. We've been doing this every so often, and it makes all the difference.
