Umbrella ella eh eh eh (at least that's how we sing it in Canada)

It's been a couple of shit weeks, for a variety of reasons. Nothing monumental just the little things that add up to big things- it's been a hard go at times. Sometimes I think taking risks and being present is for the birds- that said though, I can't seem to see any other way to live. It's all very existential, angsty and all that- why does meaning seem to come from those places?

Anyway, through these last weeks I've been reminded that I have good friends. My good friend La-luje made me this incredible current music mix, because I have no idea what's on the radio these days. I can't help it, I've been sucked into the independent music world that is Seattle, where no, no, no, one knows who Amy Winehouse is. So regardless of my weeks these tunes are keeping me in smiles, Thanks to Julie... Nothing like some music mix love, Lee you'd be so proud.

Much can also be said for my incredible sisters, cousins and friends who, along with Julie, have been keeping me laughing with their wittiness a la facebook, email and phone messages.They be funny and I be blessed. It is the small things that help keep the big things in perspective. I love that God himself is relational and desires for us to not go it alone...

Oh and Seattle, meet Amy- from what I've heard you won't be finding her in rehab, even though she probably needs it. Maybe her daddy should get on that.
