I am still alive

Thoughts for today:

I love my job. It is the second quarter and the kids are really good or I am just better this year.

I bought some new gel pens.

The cold has now gone to my core. It is at the point where I will not get warm until Mid April. I have all of the times, sunrise and sunset printed out. Today I went through and counted how many hours of daylight will be each day. I watch it dwindle but the good news is that this year is going so fast that the days will be getting longer soon. Come May things will be good. I think. I have set aside that time to crash emotionally, physically, whatever I need. I don't know if that will be a good thing or not. Maybe there will be too much of a let down and I will go insane. We'll cut through that forest when we come to it.

I will take time each day to create something memorable if only to myself.

Remember the green room
Remember the black and white checker tiled floor.
Remember the red velvet and the blue moon with the quiet tinkling of music in the distance.

These are Places. I was there, I swear.
