When Your Fortune Is All-Too-Real

Today was a 'not-so-good-day' that can best be described in reverse order. This afternoon Joey and I had lunch (without the kiddos) at P. F. Chang. At the end of our meal Joey handed me a fortune cookie and jokingly said, "here you take the bad one". My fortune read:

"Life always gets harder near the summit."
This is true more today than ever before. This really dreary and rainy morning, Joey and I woke up with a very difficult task to take on. A friend of ours mother lost her battle to cancer this week. It's a new chapter in my adult life that I had to attend the funeral of a friends parent. After the service another friend made a comment that rings true, it could have been me today. Thank you God for the time I have with my family and my parents. Everyday is truly a gift.
