It's all good

Sometimes in life you have one of those days/weeks where things don't work out the way you'd hoped or planned, and you find yourself feeling down in the dumps...where even though you know deep down inside that this too shall pass and indeed may even have a silver lining, you still feel like you've been punched in the gut...where uncertainty just gives rise to even more uncertainty.

Then you come home at the end of the day and your little baby girl gives you a big smile and maybe even a giggle (even though she's been cranky all day) and reaches out for you to hold her, and at least for that fleeting moment nothing else matters. It's just you and your smiling daughter and your beautiful wife who is weary but happy that you're home to give her a break, and all's right with the world.

Never mind that three minutes later the moment has passed and she's fussing again and reaching back for mom because a tooth is coming in and she's tired and hasn't pooped all day and your landlord is calling you for the third time that day to tell you the same meaningless information and you realise you forgot to pick up a bottle of wine to go with dinner and the dog is barking and the tension in your gut starts creeping back--never mind all that. The initial moment, however short it might be and whatever else follows, sustains you for longer than you ever could have imagined...
