I have been keeping company with Sadness today.
Sadness was a frequent guest last year. When the new year brought new loss, he set-up camp. I did not invite him, but he does not leave.
Most of the time, I find his company bearable. He is not usually oppressive. Present, but only passively imposing himself. Most days, I hold my focus on Happiness, and Sadness lurks in the shadows. I can almost convince myself he isn’t even there.
Then I turn a corner just a moment too soon, and come face-to-face with my old enemy. A painful confrontation. I am suddenly reminded of all that is lost, and Happiness is unseated.
Happiness is always fleeting.
Ah, but I have learned not to depend on Happiness. She is my fickle friend. Hope is my true and steady friend; always near. I take her hand and face Sadness down.

Is Selfish Sam Sadistic?
In a post from 2016, What An Apology Isn’t, I wrote about Selfish Sam. Recently, reports of Selfish Sam have reached my ears, again. It is news of behavior that can honestly be described as not only selfish, but actually sadistic. I thought it was appropriate to share this post, again. CLICK HERE

My Saturday Evening Post: 12/30/17
Watched a lot ( A LOT) of baby food recipe videos today. Made Lucy a new recipe, but she wasn’t very excited about it. She has learned to nod her head, “Yes,” and shake her head, “No.” It’s pretty cool. Tomorrow is our family Christmas. It took a full day, but Doug fixed my computer…

My Saturday Evening Post: 12/23/17
It’s been a good and full week. I wish I had a few more days before Christmas, because there were some things I don’t think I’ll get to do, and Christmas cards will definitely be late, but we can only do our best. Right? That has to be good enough, because…well, it’s all we have…
