Hanging on for hope

Are you hanging on for hope? It's all you've got worth living for. Is it much too much to cope the road out? There's a tension when we speak. The income's overrated but it's worth it when we meet on common ground.

I have to say things didn't go well on the mountain today even though I did see a pair of adorable chipmunks and stopped to chat with them at which point I wondered if other people talk to animals the way I do. I'm not sure they do. I hung on and I walked more than I would have preferred but I got to enjoy some sights that I don't normally take the time to appreciate. Then I went on a movie date with my babies to see Sole Survivor, which was really a Great War movie and I don't normally like war movies. Now K and I are watching the Golden Globes and I am flabbergasted that Meryl didn't win for August Osage County and I'm not normally a fan of hers but she was incredible in that. Equally flabbergasted that Her is even nominated, much less just won for best screenplay. Wtf. My blista sista and I are going to investigate that mystery next weekend. I will close tonight with a quote from Amy Adams who upset Meryl because it touched my heart:

Thank you so much for teaching me to accept joy and let go of fear.
