This World is Crazy

I miss my husband. We are busy raising kids and I miss him. Sometimes I dream about dating him again. It's good to be raising our kids, but I miss him. 

 High's and Low's. Up's and Down's. Joy and Sadness. These are the emotions I've been having lately. To be expected, right? Probably.  I keep reading about so much of the sadness and madness going on locally, let alone in the world.  I find myself thinking, "this world is crazy" all too often. It's almost more than I can bare when I think of the parents who've lost a child recently (doesn't it seem like there's been many)? Or some of the other unspeakable acts that have happened recently. So, so sad. Like, so sad that I shouldn't think about it, but I do.

I have a desire to focus more on my family. Less on the media. Create more fun memories. Care less about a messy house and care more about meeting the needs of those humans of mine above. Read more books, or just finish one of the three I've started. Reach out to more friends. Eat more ice cream. Go for more walks. Call my mother in law more often. Call my own mother more often. Pray more. Ponder more. Sleep more. (not likely to happen anytime soon).

Sometimes it's good to stop and realize this life is all about people. I'm so grateful for the people in my life who love me and support me and buoy me up, especially when this crazy world can bog me down.
