the Life of Olena

She comes down the hallway dressed in this lovely outfit.  I can't help it, but I bust out laughing.  She looks at me with this serious face and says "what?......too much pink? you think this is too much pink dont cha?"  I almost peed my pants I started laughing even harder.  Honey...the pink should be the last of your concern! 

It is after 11pm at night, I am sitting in a completely quiet, peaceful, warm breezy house.  I am soaking up every moment and really appreciating it for what it has to offer me right now...REPRIEVE! I am so exhausted I cannot even fall asleep.  Fighting a bad case of insomnia and after tossing and turning for over 30 minutes I figured I would just get up and wait for the heavy eye lids to return.  The last 2 weeks have been extremely challenging, not to mention a true test of my Faith.  I have had to deal with some of the most difficult, negative and self loathing people I have ever encountered, and have had every possible thing go wrong in the mean time.  There has not been a single solitary day in that last 14 days that a problem has not occurred.  The honest to goodness reason I am still sane or even alive today is because I have prayed....a lot, and every prayer has been answered.  It is the only thing that keeps me strong and has allowed me to wake up every day and face it all
