Brave! This year is going to be like no other in my life, and in order to keep myself out of the mental hospital or in an endless bag of Doritos, I am going to have to be brave. I’m going to resist freaking out, no matter what happens with Mark's job. I am not so much afraid of this new place in our life as I am of all of the stuff that has to take place as a result of what may happen. I am going to remember that people have gone through what we are about to go through a million, trillion different times throughout history. I will be calm, cool, and collected. I will exude strength and level-headedness. People will start calling my hairdo “The Brave.” There will be a petition to change the last line of the national anthem to the “land of the free and the home of the Jennifer.” (Of course, I will graciously plead with the persisters to fight global warming instead.) The point is that I’m going to be brave.
