Choices

The state of the economy tends to make things happen that aren’t too pleasant. Ok, like I am blaming the economy as to why we now have to lock our shed. Scratching your head huh? Let me explain. We used to have a 10 gallon gas tank for the mowers and such around the house. Note I said “used to”. It has turned up missing. (Isn’t that an odd expression?) There are not too many places one can misplace a 10 gallon gas container. You have your shed and your garage. That’s it. Ours has fallen into the great abyss.

Are we going to replace the container? No. We can stick to the 3 gallon variety without much concern. I just feel really bad for whoever felt led to do that. I truly hope it was a need and not some foolishness. But yet I wish who did it also knew us well enough that if they did have a need….we would have gladly given them the gas. They did not need to place this burden on themselves on top of everything else. I pray that God brings blessings to this person.

Something wonderful is happening tonight. My son actually gets to be home with us instead of at school or work. Because of this I have chosen to not go to my Cel meeting opting instead to make my boys favorite meal for him and having his lady love join us and just enjoying the time together. Life truly does go by in the flick of an eye. My kids are growing so fast and their paths are forking off from my own. As much as I’ll ache missing each of them I am also so proud of and excited for each of them. I will find contentment in stealing whatever moments with them that I can.

I got a good start to getting the house back in order. Still have a ways to go before it passes my standards but we are getting there. I’m trying to do that along with numerous other things and I am but one person. I have to remind myself of that at times. I am beginning to do lists again. It does help sort out what one wants to tackle first and also helps ensure things don’t fall through the cracks. I hate that. Best to not be overwhelmed and make bad choices. Hmmm….that statement probably fits for the person that took the gas container. Again….praying.
