If I am the center of my world and what I know of the world is how things reverberate against me – then I would have to say every event last week informed another. Sadness about a friend’s child gave me perspective on issues ranging from world economics to car accidents, joy in my life was tempered by loss in other’s lives, my sunny mood was tried and twisted by failures with silver linings and feeling in control of my life was accosted by spending time with my aging mother and listening to friend’s trials and tribulations with their aging parents.
By the time Sunday was spent – I had had a week loving, angry, frustrated, joyful, hopeful, tearful, anxious, calm, jealous, faithful, dancing, laughing, manic and grateful – and I know this is life and I am living in technicolor.
