Z Baby Quest

This has been a rough week. I haven't wanted to go to work or do much of anything. I emailed back and forth with some really great people who've been through similar experiences and we agree it's not a club we want to be a part of. But we all keep going.....move forward. I just watched the movie "Gravity" and heard a quote in it that speaks to me. George Clooney's character is appearing in a dream to Sandra Bullock as she fears she's dying;

Matt Kowalski: I get it. It's nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. There's nobody up here that can hurt you. It's safe. I mean, what's the point of going on? What's the point of living? Your kid died. Doesn't get any rougher than that. But still, it's a matter of what you do now. If you decide to go, then you gotta just get on with it. Sit back, enjoy the ride. You gotta plant both your feet on the ground and start livin' life. Hey, Ryan? It's time to go home.

At times I've felt hopeless and life is too rough.....but there's no point in laying down and waiting to die. We have to keep living life. We have to figure out what it takes to make life happy. We will persevere. I have no clue what our plan is, but we will try to enjoy the ride as much as possible. And with everyone's help, we will do it with laughter and gratitude.
