I’ve come to a realization that the family issues are out of my hands and belong to God. He can handle them far better than me, that’s for sure!
It’s tough to realize that you can’t handle the world. It’s tough to realize that you can’t force your father to go through bypass surgery or force your parents to face the truth about another situation they’re helping to prolong. I was so angry about this other situation that I was yelling when I spoke to a friend about it a few nights ago. It just angered me so much. This friend actually said to me just stop. This is out of your control.
And she was right.
And so, I have stopped. And I feel better. These two situations still are sad, but I now realize are out of my control. My life is the only thing I am in control of.
Work also took up the week. It’s cool in a way to be at this major paper. I love it that when I call a source, I don’t get a quizzical response of, “And who are you with again?” but immediately get responses. That’s kinda cool. 
But then again, I get weirdos calling me and emailing me, and that’s not cool. 
And I went to Darin and Donna’s wedding this weekend!
They are the nicest people and give me hope! The reception was at a place . The parking wasn’t great (it was down the block), but I really liked the atmosphere of the reception site.
And that was it! I was chatting with a friend and jokingly said that c*ap comes in threes, doesn’t it? Yes, unfortunately it does, he said back to me. I hope to coast for a little while and not have more family drama. We shall see.
