Today sucked.
I mean, it really did.

Well…most of it.

At least it did until I got home.

I went to a meeting this morning that I was very hopeful would bring some bright things in to my future.

I ran smack dab in to an emotional brick wall.

At least I think I did. I cannot really tell because I was still reeling from a phone call I got on the way in to the meeting where I found out that a young man whom I have known for his whole life- and whom I care for a great deal- was in trouble.

Big trouble.

And there was nothing I could do to help him.

And to make things absolutely perfect, I went to a non-prof Board meeting that devolved in to something between a high school hair pulling match and mud wrestling.

But women are good at these bumps in the road- right?
And somehow, the groceries were bought, the laundry got done and there is a roast in the oven.

You, of all women, have the right to say that, Kimi!

The resilience of women is that we keep coming back to try to solve problems regardless of the hair pulling involved..

I hope your young friends troubles are not insurmountable.

And that, Tracy, goes right to the root of it!
Thanks
