hello my friends!! i know it still feels like winter...but change is coming!! i hope!! lately i have had the unfortunate experience of having not one or even two friends come to me, but several come to me and tell me that someone they knew has committed suicide. and each time i cried for them because they said to me, could they have some how been a better friend?? it's a question i ask myself all the time. but i think we all know that in these hard times it goes way deeper than that. there is a song that i play all the time that says "when a heart breaks it don't break even..." part of me wants to tell you to stay posative and hopeful, after all hope floats. and like the weather, change is coming. but i am also realistic. before it can get better it will most likely get worse. am i wishing for it, or trying to draw that on us?? no...but life is life. and we can't control the rest of the world...and sometimes what we are doing in our corner isn't enough to keep the rest the of the world out...but thats kind of an obvious statemnent.
we forget sometimes how much the world can hurt. it can hurt people we love. people we don't. people caught in the middle. even people who'd give anything if they could just never ever hurt again. but sometimes the hurt can't be avoided. it just keeps coming at us and it can't be stopped. its in us and it can't be seen. or it's lying next to us in the dark, waiting. but sometimes it doesn't come at all. sometimes we get this other thing that flutters down out of nowhere and stays just long enough to give us hope. sometimes, rarely, barely, but just when we need it most and expect it the least...we get a break.

until next time...safe jouney.
