I want to write something eloquent, something to make you feel what I feel at the moment. But the words aren't coming, and besides, I don't actually want to make you feel exactly as I do. My stress level is currently far too high and I wouldn't want my writing to cause anyone to have elevated blood pressure or a heart attack. So I will be short and blunt: things suck. Really, really suck. And yet every day God gives me something beautiful--a hug, a book, a bar of lavender soap, chocolate, a genuinely happy smile, and an encouraging word, to name a few. God uses us to help each other, and it's wonderful when we actually realize it. Last week I was actually able to get a day off to climb a mountain with 3 friends. It was one of the best days ever; I've kept some of the peace from that day with me and it's helped to keep me sane. Here are some pics. I went with

The weather couldn't have been any more perfect; we could even see Mt. Fuji in the morning. I've got more pics on facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2032363&l=bff39&id=168302105. There are pics from sumou and other stuff in Tokyo in that album as well. Okay well that's all for today folks. It's time for me to try and de-stress with some tea.
