Perspective

I'm trying to think of something to write about, but the truth is I've had the wind knocked out of me by the tragedy in Haiti. My day of battling traffic and managing my own "issues" has been knocked into perspective.

I am overwhelmed by the magnitude of their pain and the endless need - feeling as though if I were there, I would be a cowering heap of helplessness with nothing to offer.

Please pray for miracles.
I am heartbroken.

TRYING...

Trying to write a little something no matter the circumstances... even coming home later than usual due to an accident shutting down the highway to start making fish tacos for dinner which began with me gracefully tossing the coleslaw dressing onto our very hard ceramic tile floor (lots of glass PLUS a permeating aroma) then tossing the bag of glass and fragrant dressing into an overfull trash can which toppled, sending morning coffee grounds across the kitchen floor (glad I still had my scrubs on).

Heading downstairs now in a fresh change of clothes hoping for a new beginning. Greg is at the store buying more dressing and Grace is demanding that I sing "Happy Birthday" to Jolly her new beta fish AND that I go out tonight and get a plant for Jolly's bowl in light of the occasion.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Jolly. I had no idea.

A Lame but Honest New Year's Resolution

I hope to start writing again... Kelly's New Year's Resolution hesitantly made and publicly posted on the 10th of January... Off to a good start!
