The begining of another year

This evening, I came home to a scene of first day blues. The tension levels are high and emotions are being worn on sleeves. Why is it that when we are in our most vunerable states, everyone knows how to push us over the edge? It also seems that we do our best pushing when we ourselves are walking the tight rope without a net. I often wonder how it would be different if instead of pushing, we were to wrap our arms around each other and pull up with our combined strength. Why is it so hard to do that? I want you all to know that when you feel like your are slipping, hanging on to the edge with just your fingernails, and that there is no way out, you can always come to me or my sweetheart. We are here for you. I also want you to know that you can always go to one who understands you better than we do. He is just outside the door, he just needs and invitation.

It has been a good day so far. I appreciate how everyone got up so well. I think we all made it to our scheduled destinations with out tardiness. Lets see if we can do it again tomorrow.

Love ya,

Dad
