Faith, Family, Friends

The munchkins have a bit of a school holiday today, so I don't have much time to write. This snap is from Khasab, Oman when my mum was here visiting. Lovely, lovely place. I love this snap because you can see my mum and Munchkin #2 reaching out towards each other.

As I've been getting back in touch with old friends, and as I stop to think about current family siutations, I got to thinking. For me, the most important things in my life are my faith, my family and my friends. Even when we don't agree, even when we temporarily lose track of one another, I couldn't make it through this life without the three.

Do I get frustrated sometimes? Yes. Do I get scared? Yes. Do I ever feel alone? Never. I may spend time by myself at the computer, but I'm never totally alone.

Living outside my home country, an old lesson has been reinforced for me. There are two sides to every story. There are two sides to every arguement. There are two sides to every compromise. Can it be hard to see both sides? Yes. Can it be hard to meet in the middle? Yes. But, without trying to see both sides, without trying to meet in the middle, how can we hang on to those we hold most dear? And those of us with faith - we reach out with our faith. We take positive action. We still reach out.

Thanks for reading my slightly more than random thoughts. Feels good to 'spit things out'.

Peace.
