It was the best of times; It was the worst of times

This year has seriously held some of my happiest and saddest moments. 

Even as I think of all of those things now, it brings tear to my eyes. 

My 2017 year started off spectacularly!
I was on a roll!
And then, like dominoes, everything started falling.
And falling so quickly, I couldn't catch everything and put it back up. 

I'm a "fix it" person.
I'm a "everything's fine" person.
I'm a problem-solver. 

And these problems that have arisen don't have black-and-white answers.
I am realizing the life is just full of "gray" areas.
Where there aren't rights and wrongs; it's more like "ish" 

And as I sit here this evening, I realize that I'm still here.
I can still do good.
I can still be "fine."
And that's going to have to be good enough for now.

I just thought it was a fun picture.

My niece! (She's in the middle)
She had a dance recital on Saturday-- isn't she adorable?!

Getting ready to sing the Messiah on Sunday. It was such a great performance!
