I have to make this short because I’m in the midst of
packing for the move to my new home. I’ve had a big setback in that process
because a pipe burst in the powder room of my current home, flooding several rooms
and the basement beneath. Fortunately, a water restoration crew was able to get
to my house fairly quickly and set up giant dehumidifiers and turbo fans in
addition to sealing off part of my house (including the kitchen and laundry
rooms, sadly).
Needless to say, it’s been a real challenge to continue to
pack while putting up with the noise and inconvenience. But then along comes
Veterans Day to remind me what’s really important in this world.
I’m fortunate that I have a house to live in, which many of
my East coast friends do not. I’m fortunate that I did not lose a son or
daughter or even a husband to the war, too.
So instead of bemoaning my current state of bedlam, I’m
going to say a big THANK YOU to all of our veterans today and send you virtual hugs. May God bless and
watch over you.
Here is a comment to give you a laugh to cheer you in the packing process. I'd just finished reading something about a cat when I flipped over to the Cozy Chicks blog. The header said Hug a vet. I'm going why hug a vet thinking veternarian. Then after a couple of seconds I realized Vet as veteran. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with packing and the added trauma of dealing with a small flood in the house.
