Today was one of those days that keeps my heart believing and would have others thinking I belong in a mental institution. Haha! I think it's a bit sad that we often see things such as faith and belief as being signs of someone who is off. I certainly know that they can be, but sometimes faith, trust and belief are justified. I believe it is so in my devotion to us. Knowing that I will never do anything silly, dangerous or stupid, but that I will never stop having that faith.
I saw 55 Kia's today - double 5's, my favorite number, which was pretty cool. I looked out the window where I was having lunch today and saw number 8, just as Beyond the Sea started playing. Remember the first Christmas gift you ever gave me? The music box that plays that exact song! I also saw a rock when I was out earlier that was shaped just like a heart. Then, when I was reading, there was a reference to a daffodil - that brought to mind your poem, Daffodils for Her. So yes, I am basking in a day of signs. If I am in need of a straight-jacket and a padded room, so be it.
I did apply to Amtrak's new Writer in Residence program today. I also emailed you about it because I know it would be right up your alley. I may not be picked, but if I am, what an amazing opportunity this would be. I would welcome the chance to write about that experience, work on my other writing and draw some attention to my work. We shall see. I know they are long odds, but long odds have never stopped me. The worst will be that I won't be picked.
With hope alive and beating strongly in my heart, I wish you a pleasant night sleep and a easy work week ahead. I am hoping to get everything with my neck scheduled, so that I can finally be free of that pain. I wish there was a way to be free of the pain I my heart. Well, there is. I just wish for it to come true. If it were, would you marry me?
