This just in...

In an unprecedented turn of events: I am happy.

This doesn't happen often folks. Though I have a sense of humor, laugh often, and have a sense of Puckish mischief that keeps me from caving in, I have a deep melancholic streak that runs right through my core. I've seen a lot of horror in my life, of all varieties, and it's left me rather scarred. Sometimes I have thought that I was too broken to ever be repaired. I've hobbled through life like a wounded animal lost in a dark forest. The darkness now seems to be lifting. I have this glimmer of hope that I am cradling. I am holding on to it gently and breathing more life into it every day. I bless all the available light I possess, and all the illumination God floods into my life. Let it increase. That is my prayer.
