stop looking for chickens, stop looking for chickens. this week has been a doozy. at some point earlier, i warned matt not to count his chickens before they hatch. it was the only advice i could impart on him at the time, but it was really unnecessary. when i said it, we both agreed it was a good object lesson, but neither of us believed there was any reason to worry about the chickens.

and now, mere days later, i am sitting here in the same situation, but i am still on the edge. i could be counting chickens right now and not even know it. the way i see it, i don't have any choice in the matter. there is no reason to hesistate. i have to proceed forward. i am on the edge. instead of standing there paralyzed, clinging to solid ground, this time i am just going to jump. i see more positive scenarios than i ever remember seeing.

this week has had a profound impact on me. it feels like years have passed since last friday. every day brought something new. every day something changed, and for the better. every day i had to gain new perspective, just to be able to understand the implications of what happened the day before. every day! the event themselves just don't seem possible. but it happened. i was there. i was there today. there isn't even anything to second guess. all i can think about is tomorrow.
