Breanna, thanks for not just thinking so, but saying so. :)

Trina, "what was and what is" is a good way to put it. I'm fascinated by the way certain moments and experiences can be very unique, but they still usually echo life's most basic themes.

Anne, yes, a funeral and a baby's birth create life's most stark contrast. It has a way of putting everything in perspective, doesn't it? Thanks for your comment—I'm glad you enjoyed the post!

Ashley, thanks for reading and letting me know what you thought. I should play with different formats and approaches to my blog posts more often. Or maybe this "week in review" style could make a regular appearance. 

Daisy, yes, life does hand us a lot some weeks. And we wonder why we're so exhausted—emotionally as well as physically!
