Bummed Out Tonight

I don't really feel like blogging tonight. I feel sad for a couple of reasons. Even watching "The Office" didn't cheer me up, and I love that stupid show!

I have a good friend who is being misunderstood, and that makes me very sad. A friend who is godly and sincere and hears from God doesn't come along very often, and I want to hang on to a treasure like that. I wish somehow I could fix things, but only God can fix this situation. I need to trust Him to do it.

Also, my daughter's school, Cabot Jr. High North, burned down today. You may have seen the fire on the news tonight. It's also Debora Brown's new school. Ginger lost seven years of teaching resources she'd developed, but worse, she lost books that were valuable to her, including her college poetry books. You'd have to be a booklover like she and I are to understand that kind of loss, but it's like, well, losing treasure!

On the other hand, I can treasure two little blessings today. Spring invited me to eat lunch with her next Tuesday, and Lisa went to Curves with me. It's so nice having young friends! I don't mind getting old as long as I don't get cranky like so many old people. I'm hoping I can be old and sweet instead.

Maybe tomorrow will be better! An old Pam Thumb song is going through my head. It said "Life is hard, but God is good." I KNOW that's true, even if I don't FEEL it.
