I'm already tired of it. But so that you may know that I am not completely without thanks...

I am thankful that I can get up, take my mat and go home.

Isn't that more difficult? Shouldn't I take heart?

It's just that home can be difficult. And sometimes my mom's fears and my sister's insecurities and my dad's helplessness can wear on me. Sometimes I don't wear it well.

I remember seeing youth group kids again over Labor Day - a one time thing, really - and they told me that I was getting old and needed to find a wife. "We have to find you a holy girl!" they said, because they think I'm holy. It took me a second to remember that that was a good thing. And no, I am not.

But when what's easier said than done is actually done, well, the thankfulness is there to be had.
