A Week

It’s been a week.

It’s been a week in which happiness doesn’t feel quite as happy.

It’s been a week of cliché songs on the radio about life not sounding so cliché anymore.

It’s been a week of  finding ourselves thinking over and over, “I wish it was this time this many days ago.”

It’s been a week to be grateful for the many thoughtless actions we’ve walked away from unscathed.

It’s been a week of being reminded of loyalty, trust, and friendship.  

It’s been a week where many lives have been forever changed.

It’s been a week full of prayer.

It’s only been a week.
