Everybody's Fine
Thursday, March 18, 2010 by Lindsey
At least, that's what I'm going to tell myself...until it sticks. It's been a bad week. I won't go into detail because I'm not a fan of airing my dirty laundry for all the internet to see, I've done that enough times in my life to know the consequences.
So, I'm choosing to be optimistic...here's some good things that have happened this week:
- After months of snow, we finally have sunshine, green grass, and daffodils.
- My dear friend Tiffany was not only accepted into the foreign exchange program (Japan!), but got a $5000 scholarship.
- After all of this time, I realized that my mother was right all along: I'm an oil painter. Oils work exactly like I've tried to force acrylic to for all these years.
- I finished the baby blanket I'd been knitting, and am anxious for new projects.
- I ran 2 miles last night, and 2.75 this morning.
- I haven't had more than one cup of coffee per day in at least 4 days.
So now, it is time for ibuprophen and sitting out in the beautiful sunshine, trying to be creative. It seems silly to be so discouraged when there's so much evidence of God's hand, and so much proof that in the end everything will be fine.

(Yet...no matter how hard I try...and how much I distract myself...I'm still scared, and sad.)
