twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2014.08.16

I've now been working for more than twenty years; I suppose it's better than to toil in obscurity than it is to loaf in obscurity.

Three good things that happened today:

  1. Mari's plan of getting out on our bikes to do some shopping before the rain kicked in worked perfectly (unfortunately the family across the street decided to head out on their bikes just after we returned, and they came back in twenty minutes, soaked).
  2. Kept inside on a rainy day, The Boy delighted me by asking me to read him a book.
  3. The Girl napped for 3 1/2 hours.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
