Never Would Have Thought ~

Country roads take me home to the place I belong...

Last night I said to Arvid, “I’m ready to go home now.”  He said, 

but you are home.”  I said, “no I’m not I want to go back home.”  

Then he said, “you know it’s strange because you’re right it does not 

feel like home right now.”  So true. Right now for some strange reason
 this does not feel like home.  And I want to go home.  Arvid wants 

to stay in the warmth, even though he says it does not feel like home

Today's forecast is rain and dark clouds.  Forecast and home in Branson 

is COLD and sunny skies.  Yes, I want to go home.  In the year that we have 

been gone, I LOVE the cold weather and am missing it right now.

On a happier note, my nephew Gabriel has started selling his

 Tie Dye creations online on Eysy .  Please take a moment to like

Stressful Days ~

When it rains it pours, but soon the sun shines again.
Stay positive better days are on their way...

Another night I go to sleep wondering if my sister is all right.  Does she

 have enough drinking water?  Did she have anything to eat today?  I don't 

know, I have not heard from her in two days. What do we do?  

I don't know. I go to sleep in a comfy bed. Air conditioned home and I don't 

know what she has to deal with. I think I can imagine it, but I'm sure 

none of us can. Not unless we are living it. I tried calling several 

time.  There is no cell service. No calls are going through. 

There is nothing in the island. Soon there will be no drinking water. 

 There is no way we can send her anything   The mail service is NOT working!

Our entire family is at a loss as to what to do. I am helpless!!!!

Just about everyone in the Island is facing the same devastation.  Today

 all I want is that my sister gets food.  Water.  Maybe I am being selfish.  Of course 

I want everyone to get the same, but my main concern today is for her and J.

Hope is not pretending that troubles don't exist.  It is the hope that they won't
last forever. That hurts will be healed and difficulties overcome.  I can't do
much for my sister right now, but I am hopeful that it will soon be better
for her and everyone in the island.  I have to have HOPE!

Wishing you all a good day.
And remember never take anything for granted.

Always remember that your present situation is
not your final destination.  The best is yet to come...
