Ciao, amici! This week’s final post will be short and sweet. Well, maybe not sweet. But definitely short. At least, shorter than usual.

I’m babbling. Anyway…

I’ve had my share of challenges in the last few months. Most recently, my son celebrated his 22nd birthday, and it was the first of his birthdays that I didn’t get to spend with him. It probably doesn’t seem like that big a deal to most of you, but I coped poorly. It was a huge deal to me. Empty Nest Syndrome has hit me harder than I ever thought it would. Which brings me to today’s quote by an unknown author:

Onparticularly rough days when I’m sure
I can’t possibly endure,
I like to remind myself that my track record
for getting through bad days so far is 100%.
And that’s pretty good.

Nothing I could do about not being there for…
