Concern is a tricky beast

Many unexpected things happen to heighten an already heightened sense of concern.

Concern though, is a tricky beast.

Constantly reminding us we have two choices:

  • survive
  • thrive

Life’s fine print reveals this struggle opportunity reality lasts a lifetime.

PS. The boys have been together for 11 years, and so have their parents.

 

The harder we work, the more luck favors us

The harder we work, the more luck favors us.

It’s debatable, yet I’ve found a focused, balanced approach yields far greater luck percentages than hoping and wishing.

A new bed arrived yesterday afternoon. Talk about timing.

Seriously.

Was organized enough this morning to do this

Her High School friend was already there and cooking breakfast (a subtly different pic than yesterday’s post)

 

Was organized enough this morning to do this. To rearrange the morning to allow for a visit to our friend’s house following her email about her husband’s sudden death. (Another friend had sent us an email three days prior asking for prayers – Mike had been admitted to the hospital – but it went to an email address we no longer use)

Sent a reply offering suggestions on how I could help.

Without a reply back, and now 9am, I drove to their home.

Knocking on her door, was afraid because I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. Nor what to do and when to do it.

So we just hugged. Sat down. And talked.

Live, before you die.

No seriously, is our fire lit?
