Optimism
I have three things to worry about, none of which I can really discuss here. Thing one is inevitable, and beyond my control; thing two is improbable, and beyond my control; and thing three is really totally unknown, and also beyond my control. I may as well bundle them all up into a big ball labelled "The Future" and lob them into the corner for now. Just as well I'm not prone to anxiety. About once a year I lie awake getting myself into a tizzy over things I can't do anything about, but the rest of the time I'm fairly sanguine about dealing with what comes along when it does.
So. The weather was nice today. Not too hot, not cold. The blossom is blooming forth all over. Monkey flew a kite yesterday for the first time, and the unalloyed delight on his face was worth a lot. (Actually, yesterday might also have been the first time I've ever flown a kite. It's one of those things that makes you smile.) Mabel got new sandals and a new water bottle this morning (thank you, REI dividend) and thus is all kitted out for summer. Spring is sproinging, and it's a good thing.

Wait, if I offer a sympathetic ear does that make me nosy or compassionate? What if I'm actually both? (Not really a what if question. I am both.)
It is much easier to be optimistic in Spring. (Even when the government shutdown means that my husband will be spending LESS time at home.)
I'll tell you sometime. It's nothing gigantic or earth-shattering, just not really blog material. And item 2 has already resolved itself.
Me too! Email please! And don't worry. You have a gorgeous family who adore you. And my builder promises to be done with my renovations weeks before you guys arrive. ;) Nothing else matters.
