This morning I woke up sad. Nothing dramatic happened. No life-altering news had been delivered. In fact, before going to bed last night we received good news about our next grandchild. Still I woke up with the question, “How do I have joy when it seems that so much is unsettled, unresolved, and unrestored in my life, my relationships, my world?” I cannot list publicly all the relationships that need mending, the problems that feel overwhelming and unresolvable. I can't a name to the general anxiety that creeps in regularly from life in this volatile world. Like a cloud that keeps building till it blocks out the sun, I'm feeling chilled in the shadows, even on this bright sunny day.
