Life's Little Bag of Tricks

I took a 2 1/2 hour nap today. And let me tell you, I needed it. It seems that Life has a way of dumping its whole bag in your lap all at once from time to time, just to see if you can handle it. Any event taken alone wouldn't be too big a deal, but the whole bag, well, it can be a bit taxing. This week has left me physically and emotionally exhausted, and I'm glad to be retiring it to the pages of history. And I'm glad to report that I did handle it--not always with grace and style, mind you, but enough to get me through.
