The Low Points of Silence

I haven't seen my girls since Christmas night. I really miss them. I have talked with them on the phone, but that's not the same as seeing their faces.

Katie is still very mad at me. She bounces back and forth from hating to loving me. I understand. She is very worried about how our divorce will effect her life. Rightfully so.
Megan is homesick. Though she loves her aunt, uncle, cousins and grandma...she needs the comforts of home and the hugs from mom and dad.

I am on reserve today and have not yet been called. I don't really think I will be used today. I do have a local for tomorrow. I am thinking maybe I can get the girls home via airplane tomorrow night. We'll see. I am flying from SFO to SMF late tomorrow and if I can get the girls on a flight from Medford to SFO they can connect onto my flight. That would be nice. They could watch me work. Perhaps Katie would start to understand why I love my job if she could see me in action...maybe.

I hope to spend this day cleaning Megan's room. It's a mess and I know she will have tons of stuff coming home with her.

I'm getting a cold, but not letting it get me. EmergenC works well for me and so does Daytime cold meds. Along with rest and a forced smile, I will be fine.

How is your day going? Dang, all I feel like I do lately is complain. It's really not that bad, right?
The sun is shinning. The bills are paid. Nobody in my family is dying of cancer. We haven't been hit with a national catastrophy or major earthquake. What's to complain about?
Even though the house is silent, I am a blessed person. Rich beyond belief.

Happiness is a choice you make daily.
