March 24, 2010: Day 83

The last few days seem to be filled with news that quite simply makes life seem unfair. I was talking to dad today and he helped put it in perspective. For those who don't know him, he's the kind of person who always knows exactly what to say and says it perfectly. At the end of conversation he left me with this quote, "where there is life, there is hope." I can't disagree with that. I keep looking at the bright yellow daffodils on my desk and breathing in their sweet smell with the reassurance that hope and beauty surrounds us.
