It Was a Day

At the end of the day, when the cars are parked, the shoes are kicked off, and the animals (including the human ones) have been fed, my husband and I finally have a chance to discuss our days.

"How was your day?" I will ask. "It was a day," he invariably replies. These days, life is pretty good, but there was once a time when "it was a day" was code for "it really sucked, and i don't want to talk about it."

Good code. Today was a day for him. Tonight I will pray for what I don't understand, for what I don't even know. And tomorrow, which will be a better day, I'll continue to pray, because we all need it. Every "day" and every day.
