It's not the end of the world...

I opened the back of the car and a big gust of wind simultaneously blew a bag out that held a glass jar and swept my shopping cart away. I grabbed the cart. The glass bottle fell and broke all over the parking lot.

I uttered some sadness about the break.

Ethan said, "Is everything alright?"

I said, "No the bottle broke."

Ethan said, "Well, it's not the end of the world."

Nothing like putting your thoughts back in perspective.

Coincidentally, he's been asking me what happens at the END of the WORLD.

Any clue how to explain that to a 5 year old?

Weight Lifting

Weight lifting generally means carrying extra weight.

It's felt like that as we've had some extra medical bills wallowing around in my budget for some time now. It was getting heavy.

Today I paid off all our medical bills and made the last payment on Emily's braces.

That's a new feeling.

Weight.............Lifting.


Ahhh, I think I like that. :)
