today was a good day
Today was a good day, a productive day, and a day filled with beams of hope shining through the overcast skies. It felt good to mark things off my to-do list, a feeling that I am finally accomplishing something even in the midst of pain. It felt good to talk to friends on the phone and visit with my sister, to make birthday plans and embrace new friendships. It even felt good to drag my tired butt out at 10 p.m. to go to the movies. And it felt really good at the end of the movie (World Trade Center) to be reminded of the goodness that resides in the human heart.
Life may throw us all some curve balls. The days will inevitably come when no light can be found. The tears will certainly flow freely, but you know…so will the wine. And the laughter and the moments when you open your eyes and find yourself in a world filled with beauty.
Right now, I am grateful for the beauty I was able to see today, and the beauty that I am still feeling in my heart.

Tara Dawn, your words make me smile.
"The tears will certainly flow freely, but you know…so will the wine." Remember that meme a long time ago and one of the questions was: if you were to paint words on your wall, what would they be? Well, I'd paint those words. You are so right!
Lots of love to you. I'm so happy to hear the sparks of happiness in your words.
:) *still smiling*
You go girl! Did I hear birthday plans? Yours? I demand you spill it! You sound good and I'm grinng...:)see?
Big fat hugs and loves
Tara! I am glad you had such a day and there will be many, many more days like this!!!! As you said to me when I was in the midst of my pain, I'm here as well if you need someone to call, write, etc. You should come visit us in Portland! The northwest is a great healing balm for the soul. My mom used to say "Now you treat youself to a wonderful day!" as she would drop me off at school and thats stayed with me-so you treat yourself too!
I can't believe you went to the movies! I am SO proud of you! xoxo
I hope this finds you having another good day! I love you!
