sunrise everywhere else.

one of my best friends at work was forced to resign this week for a really stupid reason. it upsets me because she was the first face i saw upon being hired here and she was a daily source of light in my life. i am really going to miss her.

i think learning to lose is a difficult, terrible lesson we have to accept with grace over the course of our lifetimes. i think every time you think youve mastered it, youre approached with something you begin to cherish even more.. only to lose it, too, and start all over. its like a new day completely. a new day of a new year of a new lifetime.

yolanda had this ability to tell you that everything would be all right. and, as skeptical and cynical as i can be, i believed her. because i felt like she believed it. it was the way she lived her life, the way she carried herself, the way she glowed. she always made me feel better.

tomorrow is my birthday. saturday i start a new chapter in my life, in a new one-bedroom apartment. i am a little afraid because so much is changing. but, like yolanda said in an email to me today, 'weeping may come in the night, but joy comes in the morning.'
