I won’t lie. It’s been a difficult few months. A perfect storm of turbulent emptions, dashed hopes, and bad television. I joke somewhat on the latter. Although, I was a bit surprised when I was reading an article on what television shows might be canceled as we near the end of the tv season. I asked myself, “what tv season?” I hadn’t realized we had such a thing this past year.

We are nearing the halfway point of the year. While, I don’t feel like its been a “missing” year, it’s like it’s been a year in waiting. If that makes any sense.

Nonetheless, it has been difficult. And, while the month of May is my month, its been speeding by. I’d like to savor it just a bit more.

It is with that mindset that I opened a birthday box last weekend. The post office was a little slow. That’s ok. Its my birthday month. Keep them coming. And, in that box was a little cup that turned me around.

I am not too sure how but that cup lifted my spirits and made me feel happy. I suppose it illusttates the power of affirmation. We all look for it. Sometimes it just comes out of nowhere.
