Reality Shocker

today was just one of those days.
tired. overwhelmed.
no...try stressed and exhausted.
if you woulda said the wrong thing to me today, i probably coulda burst into tears at the drop of a hat.
that kind of day.

i don't feel any better. in fact i probably feel worse. however, i have been straightened up and put back in line again. today i learned that the brother of a beautiful ten-year-old girl on my swim team died this last week. i received a simple note on the inside of my locker that instantly overwhelmed me with grief for her and her family and shamed me for dwelling on the negatives of my day. sometimes, things just really are unfair and there is no other way about it. so tonight, and every night for a while now, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
