\"\"<\/a>I was sitting here, feeling sorry for myself, and really not in a place to write about a moment this week.
\n
\nI’ve been waiting on a shipment of paper for my father-in-law’s wedding invitations and it arrived yesterday, while I was out. The box was left in the pouring rain, without protection, by the front door which we hardly use. I found out it was there last night at 2am. My son woke me for the third time that night and my husband had just arrived home from work. Hubs thought I should know about the box, since I was awake anyway. I got up, took photos of the box and its contents and tried to relax enough to go back to bed. So, not a lot of sleep last night, ruined paper and deadlines looming, all making me very grumpy.
\n
\nWorking with headphones on, iPod shuffling songs and here comes Eva Cassidy to put it all into perspective. Eva was a singer\/songwriter with an amazing voice that died in 1996 at the age of 33 from skin cancer before many people knew of her gift.
\n
\nI’ll catch up on my sleep, the paper will be replaced, my son will eventually need to be woken up instead of the other way around. I’m alive and should be kickin’, people. And that’s what I’m going to do, thanks to Eva Cassidy and her amazing voice.
