Madness

When will i fully realize that life is insanely unpredictable? That things that seemed so certain evaporate like morning fog?  That the things you think will never happen, inevitably will? and the things you never see coming could be the very things that save you?  

Earth is not a place of predictability.  It is a place of uncertainty, pain, and unfulfilled hopes.  But it is also a place of beauty, laughter, and the promise of something more.  I love that glorious mornings can turn to disappointing afternoons that fade to sweet evenings that become fun nights.  I'm encouraged that disappointment can be softened by kind words and laughter, and that the love of friends can soothe me when what i really want to do is stand up and fight.  

A single tear slips silently down my cheek. Sometimes I just care too much.  But the tear will not be joined by another; I have so much to look forward to.  Each day brings a new surprise.
