fires

make me nervous, but its universal around here. sooty air, burning eyes, red skies, but we are ok, so far...
tomorrow, its off to la, for a strange sessions with my old boss to train and help bring someone up to date. its extra cash, so hey.
blake makes me love him so much i cry. he called and said, i wanna make sure my mama is ok. Simon, bless him, bless him is finally sleeping after the dad scare. goddamn. that and my migraine was enough to make him run. poor guy. but he is off at school and loving it right now. one big love. thats what i got all the way around. and i am grateful.

monday, monday

go forth and do great deeds. kind ones - large and small. look upon everything with hope and possibility. each moment is an opportunity to improve and contribute. keep a light heart and a ready laugh. there are many treasures and miracles awaiting us if only we can get out of our own little fears and suspicions. i can do this and more. i have before and will again. metaphorically climbing a mountain, craggy and forbodding, gasping for breathe and for each step. life is all relative and challenges can be seemingly trivial to the outside eye, but represent something entirely different to the one challenged.
