"Jesus Wept"

Kevin Kline spoke yesterday's line over and over in the movie "A Fish Called Wanda". And I think it's what most of you probably thought about calling me after reading the weblog.

How can you go on day to day, when the sky is filled with clouds and it's pouring down? How do you go on when it seems all the gloom is for you? How do you go on when it seems nothing is going right with your life?

No, really. I need some encouragement here.

This went from the best week of my year to being tied for the worst week. Little things snowballed into bigger things, and the weather didn't help by turning to crap. Thank God my week is almost over.

I was once taught that everything happened for a reason. Can any of you buy this? I used to eat it up, but now that pill seems so bitter to me. How can bad thing atop of bad thing(atop of good thing atop of bad thing) happen for a reason?

And this isn't just for me. I know someone for who it's going just as bad. How is she to cope? How am I to help her cope while I can't?

Perhaps, misery should love company.

Okay, that's just wishful thinking on my part. Perhaps misery is already loving company, and that's why we're friends at this specific juncture. Maybe we're already helping each other to cope.

Maybe that wasn't exactly what I was hinting at.

I know what I want, and I don't want to listen to those pop song morals, such as, "Be careful what you wish for," and "You can't always get what you want, but you get what you need." I don't even want that old novel standby: "Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?" Better yet for me, that song with the line in the chorus that goes, "I know who I want to take me home."

Just remember Chris: "The person you love isn't always the person who loves you."
