Crossroads

I woke up to this morning to good news and bad news.  The good was funny and exciting, the bad was terrible.

The bad news was the first that  I discovered.  And it is bad.  It is about someone very special to me.  Someone who makes my life make sense.

I was so numb about the news that I immediately went out in search of something to distract myself.  Which is where I found the good news.  I found it in my friends.

I learned something today.  When my life might be crumbling down around my feet, my friends are there to hold my head above water.

So instead of being sad today, which would be really easy, I am going to be a big girl.  I am not going to let the burden of this news sink in and ruin me.  I am going to turn to people that can take my mind off of it.  People who love me and can make me happy despite what is going on.

Today, I will take the road with the sunshine.
