Just for this moment

Martin and my mom

my dad, Morgen & I

 Just for this moment we took Morgen to dinner after he was released from the hospital. He has been evicted from his room, has not been given a work release note and his tools were all "stolen." Just for this moment I will be grateful. I will give thanks for the past day - it's failures and successes, it's sadness as well as it's joy and it's pain as well as it's pleasure. I will take comfort in knowing that every event, and circumstance that occurred today can be used for my good and the good of others.
