So I know I am getting a little "Post" happy, but I want you all to know---the joy that I have found.
I am sad today. Everybody has days like this, so that shouldn't be a surprise. The reasoning behind my sadness is probably something that can be easily guessed. I woke up this morning chipper and ready to go, ready to start this wonderful day! BUT you see I, when first rising, thought that I was waking up in Panhandle...
I had one of the most beautiful dreams i can ever remember having. Yes, it involved Panhandle, and yes it involved The School Sisters. I don't remember the whole dream, so I won't even begin to relay it here and now.
Having had such a wondrous dream, and then waking up and realizing you aren't in the place you first thought, is quite disheartening, to say the least.
I am also sad because the people of Baltimore, make me sad, Child abuse lives around every corner, drug abuse layers on top of it. It's not that I have never seen these things before, au contraire, I have a close friend, in fact, who has fallen victim to drugs. Its not pretty, and definitely NOT happy. I also know that these things that I listed above, are not primarily Baltimore issues, which makes me even sadder--the state of the world :(
But all of those things aside. I am still joyful. I can't let my sadness seep into others. Who knows, maybe the sadness will dissolve in an hour or so, working with beautiful children sometimes, does that...you know?
I will more than likely post later this evening---after I spend some quality time with Jesus at Eucharistic Adoration!
SMILE! Mary guides you and Jesus Loves you!
