Are there really "happy endings"?

An odd thing stuck in my mind the past couple of days. People, myself included, will talk about a happy ending, but is it really an ending?

Like when you read a good book, and you get to the ending, and it's a happy ending, is it really an ending in your mind? Sure, the book is over, but part of what makes the 'ending' good is that it really is a beginning of something wonderful for the characters.

But, when things really, actually end, is it ever a happy ending?

Needing Something

There's something out there for me, I'm sure of it. Something is waiting for me to find it.

I want to make the world a better place somehow. My job is fine and all, it's just that it's not "enough". I can love my kids and make them wonderful contributing citizens, but somehow, I think there's something more out there for me to do.

I'm not sure what it is.

I'm not sure how to find it.

How will it find me?

Success

G loved the bike trailer. We went for a short-ish ride. I'm not sure how he'll do in longer rides... maybe we'll work up to that.

Bring out the Bikes

Last night we took out my bike. I didn't ride it at all last year, so it was fairly dusty.

G was SO excited to see Mommy on a bike, too. What a little guy. :)

Tonight, I plan to take the bike trailer out of the closet and attach it. With G's love of all things that hook together, I'm sure he'll LOVE the fact that a trailer goes on my bike. He enjoys a wagon ride, so perhaps he'll enjoy a ride in the bike trailer as well.

We shall see.

A new day, a new post

Today, they're predicting snow for us.

Snow.

Mind you, it's APRIL.

Global warming, you say? ;-)
