a rough week

It's good to get to the weekend sometimes.  Maybe the weather is fine and we can eat something nice with someone fun.  We can make jokes with strangers and appreciate the easy connection.  Or maybe we can be all alone, or with the dog, and full of the keenness of our own thoughts.  Perhaps we can look forward to something we have planned and trust that it will take place.  We can allow ourselves to feel safe, sometimes, even when the world can be very treacherous.
