So, in a very stressful situation, not only did something helpful happen more quickly, but the thing that happened also gave us some helpful direction. Most of the stress is gone right now and we are just in a holding pattern.
And someone important said, “This is crap and you shouldn’t have to do it.” Let’s figure a better way out (I know I’m being vague, but imagine yourself in a helpless situation, and that’s what I’m talking about).
Every day for the last week, I said prayers and people were saying prayers for us (please don’t stop), and things came together enough for us and started making a little sense before we went insane, or decided to live on wine alone, or take up smoking, and I have to say: That’s a good thing.
My prayer had to do with helping someone to figure a different way out of something difficult so that they could stop coming after me about it. It was a good prayer, I think.. one that was focused on helping more than just me.
The fat lady has not sung, but at least we have a bit of peace for now.
