Today was a convolution of feelings, experiences, activities. It started out simply enough. I got a text message from a friend with GOOD news about their adoption of a baby girl from China. That was a high. The rollercoaster was on an upward trek.
Then I got to work where nothing seemed to go as planned and everything had to change and people were constantly questioning our decisions and hoops were being erected for jumping through, which we did. The rollercoaster started going down and there were loops and turns and curves and we were being jerked every which way.
After work, I headed to the local JC where I joined my training team for our bi-weekly team workout. It was a combination of jogging and walking; jogging 200 meters, then walking 200 meters, times four. I was exhausted by the end, but it was a good exhaustion. I enjoyed the beautiful full moon on my drive back home. The roller coaster has finished tearing me up and was coasting back to the terminal.
And I was back where I started. I checked my friend’s Facebook page and found cheers and excitement about the GOOD news of the adoption. She shared this song on her page and I thought it worth sharing here. It makes me smile. There’s a tear or two to go with the smile, but I’m smiling. God is smiling, too, I think.
