My hopes for this day are simple ones. I hope that I can pass through the day causing no one injury. I hope that my pain level throughout the day is low. I hope those around me simply get along. Today I can live without ecstasy. I will trade that for having no agony.

Please give me a few hours with golden light. Let me hear a lunatic squirrel going chuck chuck-chuck chuck and a bird going E-E. Let my words be gentle and my heart be caring. I guess that sums up my agenda for the day.
