That Didn't Go So Well . . .

It was nice to wake up this morning a little more rested in my own bed. I even thought, "Hey, this is going pretty well," for about the first two hours. Then I bravely decided I should go get coffee from our favorite, local coffee shop. I was sure I could handle this simple task. 

But upon seeing the friendly faces of the baristas who knew Josh, my eyes to teared up. Another hello from an acquaintance and I was ready to leave. And didn't want to answer, "How are you doing?" anymore. I walked out quickly, threw on my sunglasses and kind of melted down in my car with at least a fresh mocha in my hand for comfort. 

It may sound like I handled that exchange okay, but I'd say ... "That didn't go so well." I of course, thought it could be tough but it turns out it was more than I expected. I know eventually I'll be able to enter the coffee shop without tears but for this wasn't the day for it.

After that uncomfortable adventure, I decided to completely rearrange the living room furniture, a fresh perspective for a new season. Rearranging doesn't solve the big problem but it is nice still. 

God's peace continues to be with me and I know the prayers of so many are making a difference.
