A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

When life kicks you in the backside, enjoy the water.

I had a totally crummy afternoon. I try very hard to give back good things to the world. I try very hard to serve my community. I try very hard to serve humankind. Well, today, after 2 months of very hard work, I was evaluated on all of it via a 20 minute snippet. And guess what? The snippet was one of the crummier moments I've had doing what I do. What's worse, the person commenting on the snippet of time had no clue what was really going on in 'the big picture.' I sat at my work space at the end of the day and cried.

But, here's stuff on the brighter side.....

I've snarfed a whole dark chocolate bar with hazelnuts, guzzled a nice sized Coke Zero, I still have the best munchkins and husband a woman could ever wish for, and I'm now the proud owner of a new kayak. AND.......it's been raining in the desert. Oh yeah...gotta count those blessings.

The husband as a bit of an 'off season' gift gave me a fully collapsible two-seater twin pontoon kayak. I LOVE it. I can't wait to take it out on the water.

So, when life kicks you in the backside, count your blessings and go enjoy the water.

Peace.
