I'm in a pretty shitty place. Can't exactly put my finger on it...Can't really explain why or how or who or what or when about any of it. Because frankly I don't know myself. I do know that I should be cooking dinner. In fact, as I type, the ingredients that should be dinner are scattered across my kitchen counter in a state of disarray not normally seen in this house. And I. don't. care. I started dinner. I put on my favorite Pandora radio station. And then the day came crashing down on me. And instead of opening a can of enchilada sauce, I opened a bottle of wine. Music plays in the background. A beautiful Celtic piece...a piece my fingers, dormant for oh so many years, long to play. I watch my children from the window. Playing in the snow. They are beautiful. I often can't believe they are mine. Will they look back and remember this day? What will they remember about me?...
I think to myself "You really shouldn't be in such a shitty place"...but I can't talk myself out of it. And so I decide to dwell right where I am. Dinner halfway made. Music playing that makes me weep. Wine. Snow shoveling, laughing children.
