"Do you bow your head when you pray or do you look up into that blue space?
Take your choice, prayers fly from all directions."

— Mary Oliver

Today I will run some errands and go to the post office.
Today I will sit on the floor in the children’s section of the library and choose some new books for Percy.
Today I will do my best to be kind, and pleasant, and upbeat.
Today I will live with that lump in my throat and try not to cry.
Today I will ponder just how much of the world I will have to shut out to protect my well being.
