Putting Pessimism Aside
I'm a pretty pessimistic person.
I know, you're shocked at this revelation.
I call it "realism," but I know that there's more than a shade of pessimism in the mix.
I'm good at breaking things - or predicting how they'll break.
So it's not often that I have moments where everything is "right." I had one of those moments yesterday on the way home. The weather was gorgeous, the ride from the office to the ferry was fun, and the view from the sun deck was spectacular. Work's been great, home - despite the stress about moving - is great.
And I realized that - despite my typical pessimism - at that moment
It was all good.
That feelings been lingering since.
I could almost get used to it.
I'm sure that eventually - maybe even soonish - something will interrupt this euphoria, but for now.
Serenity.

Scott had a moment like that on Wednesday night. He came home from bowling about 10:30.
He went upstairs to check on Zoe, she rolled over and said in a sleepy voice "Daddy, you're home." and gave him a sleepy hug.
He peeked in and saw Will and I snoring. Then he stood in our living room and had a moment of "Everything in my house, is fine." and felt very good.
