thoughts on the news of the day

hmmm…..
            Today is my birthday.  It started out great … I got to sleep in and then after making coffee, I sat down to open the cards I had received over the past few days.  One was a beautiful poem from a friend and there was a small package from my daughter.  The box held a beautiful necklace that she had made herself.  It was dear to me.  I left it on the coffee table and went to my bathroom to get ready for work.  I was planning on wearing the necklace to work.  When I looked on the coffee table to put it on, it wasn’t there. 
            My dog has this habit of eating things.  I looked everywhere for the necklace, knowing that she had gotten it, but hoping she hadn’t completely destroyed it.  Looking outside in her pen, I found it.  Or rather the pieces of it.  I was mad, frustrated, sad and disappointed all at the same time.  I had been having such a great birthday and that discovery ruined it.  On top of everything else, it occurred to me that my dog might have even eaten some of the wire – and that would be disastrous. 
            Does that happen to you sometimes?  Things cave in on you at the most inopportune times.  They all flood together and we get overwhelmed.   I am not sure how I will deal with it, but I know life will go on …  In the meantime, all I can  do is just hang in there and hope for the best …. Grateful that I have made it another year and hoping for a bright future in the next year.
            hmmm…..
