The days never quite end the way they begin lately. I've learned to expect turbulence at any time. I've learned to accept sudden calm to follow intense emotion.  And I've learned that I'm really not building this ride on my own. I have such a team to help me - family, friends, coworkers, other supports in my life - that I cannot do anything else but succeed. I am proceeding carefully - more carefully than I ever have before. I'm paying more attention to the details within me and the details in the foundation that is being built. 

I am off on a 2-day adventure beginning this afternoon. I expect this adventure will provide the blueprints needed to build a solid, stable, and dependable foundation. I expect to receive some great ideas for building the rest of this ride as well. 

As for today, it has begun well. I feel better than I have in many weeks. I don't know how long this feeling will last but I plan to enjoy and celebrate it while I can. When it's gone, I will plow through whatever follows with determined steps. I will get through to the other side of this rubble and rubbish. I will find that place where light and love rule. And I will make my home, and my ride, there.
