La vie est belle

...et elle commence demain.

After possibly the worst weekend in 2 years (almost exactly! I'll mark the calendar for 2014...) I have come to my parents. To see Maggie. Don't tell my Mum and Dad.

And Maggie has had the effect I hoped she would; seeing her and petting her, I felt the knot loosen and unravel. While a lot feels the same as it did 2 years ago, Maggie is and makes the difference.
