Well, apparently so. Not that I don't dream of time to write to my heart's content about the things on my mind and heart. It's just that darn time/space continuum. It's never really been on my side. More of a nemesis, really.
So many things have been and are going on...
The world continues to be a mess in desperate need of a savior--nothing new, there. However, it is unusual that the French beat us to a fight, and the POTUS still hasn't quite figured out that this presidentin' is hard.
So, on a world and national events scale, it's pretty depressing.
Our personal business issues remain unresolved. So that's depressing, too.
But the truly absolutely worst of it all, is that a family in our church has been struck by a monumental tragedy. Their 4 year old son fell from a two story window and has died due to traumatic brain injury. This, is beyond depressing. It's brought me almost to despair.
An event such as this would be difficult no matter what, but this young family had only recently moved to Hawaii, and had barely gotten into the house where this tragedy occurred. For those of you unfamiliar with life in Hawaii, it's not quite the same to live here as it is to vacation here. EVERYTHING is different. And most things that are simple on the mainland are difficult here. It's just the way it goes. I suppose it's the cost of great weather. Or lush green to look at every day. Or whatever. Anyway, the point is, it's no vacation living here. And this young family is facing the most devastating experience any parent could have in what, I am quite certain, is no paradise for them.
So, that's adding to the funk over here...
On the plus side, we are all healthy and together. And per my request, in lieu of date night, we are going to do a build your own pizza /rent a movie night. I'll be right in the middle of my peeps, hugging them too tight and kissing them too much. Because I can.
