nick drake makes me happy

This is a reminder, probably to myself, since, honestly, how many of you are still checking this? As an aside, I’m so ashamed for not writing in so long… but as I was saying, this is a reminder that things are not all bad. That good and wonderful things are happening every day. Today, for instance, I heard a lovely Nick Drake song as I was driving back to work from the Boulder Post Office, the windows down, the music loud, the sun so bright and warming. My friends are wonderful, baking is great, and my husband is more that I could ever think up and ask for. It’s true that these are trying times, especially when it comes to tricky things like medical insurance and car problems and needing to eat (such tiny things in the big plan…) but for the most part, I can feel the warmth of God raining down on me. I’m learning humility, and it is a horrible process, but it is wonderful to know that I am becoming more like my restored self every day. That’s something to keep moving towards. That and the inevitable and undeniable invasion of truly awe-some summer nights, with friends and drinks and good food, and fellowship that truly is.
