Yesterday was not a good day. I swear someone was hiding and laughing at all the little misfortunes that added up to a no-good-very-bad-horrible day. Such a Monday!
So this morning, as I dragged by tired body out of my warm bed (thinking how can it only be Tuesday???), I hoped and prayed and wished that it would be a good day. I would enjoy my coffee eat my yummy granola and settle in at work (after a very cold but SUNNY morning commute).
Ahh the sun. If it weren't for the sun, I'm not sure what I'd do (I guess this rules out London and Seattle as places to live). Even in February with windchills below zero and over two feet of snow on the ground, the sun brightens my day.
And then, behold an email. An email on a Tuesday. On a Tuesday that marks the release Over The Rhine's newest album. An email from Linford (who I'd consider the better half of OtR) who also looks on the bright side, who writes a beautiful message about the ice on their Ohio farm, the birds, the glinting sun, the "deafening and fabulous" and the beautiful and dangerous...
I highly recommend checking out their newest album "The Long Surrender" it is streaming on their website for free { overtherhine.com }. It's beautiful. I love the last track and wish it was longer. Of course I do, because I'm always tempted to hold on to things even after they're gone...
On another note. I'm also very excited that our newest book club book arrived in the mail today Essays of E.B. White.
And tomorrow is Wednesday and I'm beginning to think it may not be so hard to make it over the hump.

in order to let something go, you have to acknowledge that it's gone. And that's one of the hardest things to do.
