- There was a tornado in Jacksonville Alabama last night that hit the Jacksonville State University campus. My nephew goes to college at JSU. I texted him to make sure he was okay and he said he was in a cellar with his baseball teammates and they were okay. So grateful he is okay, but wonder how it felt to walk out of the cellar and see that devastation. Love and light going out to him today and all those folks that have to pick up the pieces and figure out what is what. My aunt is also in Jacksonville and she escaped with no damage or injury. So thankful.
- My fabulous sister-in-law had a hysterectomy this morning. Waiting on news that the surgery went well was hard, and when the text came in that it was over I was very grateful. She will heal but I am praying her recovery goes exceptionally well and she is not in much pain.
- Bombs in Austin are on my last nerve. Cut the crap, whoever is setting them off. Seriously. Enough. That seems more like a rant than a prayer, but sometimes that is just how it comes out. They keep saying to be careful, but I have no training on how to avoid tripwires or teach my children how to avoid them! Praying they catch the bomber quickly.
- Another school shooting. UGH! Jesus, make it stop.
In search of some good news, I don't have to look very far. It is a gorgeous day today. Chip was up and out early this morning for football camp. I had a quick but lovely visit to the park to let Cooper and Tibi romp around early this morning. I felt the sun on my face. Everything is blooming. Work is going smoothly. Coffee. Homemade bread is rising on the stove. My dog is sprawled out in the backyard just loving life. I have a walk with friends to look forward to tonight. I am choosing to focus on the little moments of loveliness in my day so I don't get bogged down in the sad and scary. Sad and scary blows. Choose Joy!
