...

big sigh,
and
I got terrible news today about my sister- she lives a million miles away- literally- on a island off the coast of Morrocco. Sometimes it is so hard to be away from the ones you love. I am trying not to feel helpless, and just keep letting her know I am here- sadly just by phone - but I am here.

If I am lucky I will go and stay with her in January and February, work providing.

anywho, just listening to my friend Ron sing a beautiful song- so here's today's song...
I'll use other peoples words to express myself :)

"I know it doesn't seem that way
But maybe it's the perfect day
Even though the bills are piling
Maybe Lady Luck ain't smiling

But if we only open our eyes
We'd see the blessings in disguise
That all the rain clouds are fountains
Though our troubles seem like mountains

There's gold in them hills
There's gold in them hills
So don't lose heart
Give the day a chance to start..."
