A Road Less Travelled

 Today was a bad day. A really bad day. I e’splain. No, I sum up-

You ever have one of those times when you feel like if you just cried and got it over with you would feel better? Well, at those times I usually can’t cry and get it over with. Not so today. I got my cry! Yay!

And then Seth and Crystal kicked me out of the house. I went over to the Lansberry’s and Raquel met me at the door with a yellow straw spoon tied up in a ribbon. She said I sounded like I needed something cheerful and it was the best she could do on short notice. It was more than enough. We went downstairs, watched X-men 2 and I felt my countenance brighten. Life is still hard. Lord willing, life is about to get even harder. But I’ve got folks who love me and that ain’t no small thing.
