*For those of my dear friends/sister who are passionate about the Hunger Games trilogy*
Real life today has so far included...
Spilling coffee, answering the phones at work for the first time flying solo,
taking thirty minutes to peel three oranges (I'm all thumbs),
and wanting my little sister to do her spelling while she shows off her stubborn streak and refuses until her brother is ready to do his.
Real life has NOT included me fixing my hair or putting on "my face."
Its officially the weekend now so I'm letting my pores breath and I just plain old don't feel like fixing my hair. I'm in my cozy clothes and jeans, still yawning after a restless night sleep for no apparent reason, and about to go make a small pot of coffee.
Real life is SO not perfect, spotless, immaculate or in any way how I want it to be. Especially today. Its not quite at the "one of those days" mark, or the "best day EVER" mark...today is closer to the rolling with the punches, doing the next thing, and resting.
Its God's grace that keeps me going and from totally flipping my lid.
God's grace in the hugs from that stubborn little girl...
Grace in the blue skies and sunshine I see through the window...
And grace that has just picked me up after I stumbled yet again.
I'm still caught in that grace.

i was hoping that was a hunger games reference :) oh yes, through it all...grace!
Reality is about as far from perfect as one can get - it is "messy" and sometimes we do have to pick ourselves up and decide to be a better example than those around us.
BTW: that "blue skies" reference reminds me of one of my favorite "old" songs from POG called (appropriately) "Blue Skies."
