Anyone can see my every flaw.  It isn’t hard.

Midland is flooding.  The Edenville dam broke yesterday from flooding.  Sanford dam broke from flooding.  Families that are already struggling with loss of jobs, social distancing, the elderly, suddenly are being thrust into another unknown terror.  This year is challenging in so many different ways.  I have to stop and wonder how much more can we take before we too break from flooding.

It’s hard to keep having hope everyday and get up out of bed.  When the world keeps kicking dirt down on you and it’s just easier to stay down. Just say to hell with it, I’m done, I’ve got nothing left to push forward with.  Sickness, death, financial chaos, school, love, floods, political anger.  This isn’t the year we thought it would be.  And I simply don’t have the words.  

I’ll keep getting up though.  I’ll keep raging against the dying of the light.  To all my friends out there dealing with their new difficulties this morning, I’m thinking of you.  I’m hoping for you.  I’ll hope.

Today’s quote comes from my friend Roddy.

My anger is a form of majesty

So I'd rather have hope than sadness
