When you do the things you need to do, when the perservering and the struggling to get through things seems like it will sap your soul . . . when you are as tired as you can be, thinking about driving past work and on to the ocean, who doesn't care who you are or what you've been, when that urge to just drive until you can't anymore slowly creeps up upon you . . .
You have a day start like today. . .
Upper 60's, bright sunny day.

ideaspace would post
this today.
It's more. You don't believe in the power of stories like we do and not recognize that.
Be at peace today. Everyone.
