This is a little start to let all those who loves and care for know that we are well and surviving!
We had a good day yesterday and today. Good, meaning on the scale 1-10 a weak 5.5! That is the level of expectation I have for my everyday. We strive on getting pass an hour at a time.
On the spur of the moment, we decided to go to the beach (3 mins away) after dinner. Being summer, the weather has been warm and the sun was still bright. With very little effort, Letitia finished her dinner and we all packed up, togs, picnic rugs, toys and all....to Bulli Beach.
Mathena had a huge shock walking on the sands without shoes on. She refuse to step ahead initially but soon caught on that it is really refreshing to have the fresh seawater wash over her little toe-sies. Letitia went all excited and thank goodness for sea openness...we did not hear a lot of it. She had a ball digging, rolling by the waves, and trying to swim with the waves...and sand. On the topic of sand, anyone tried to change a nappy with wind and sand blowing everywhere??? The trick is to not worry about the sand, right?
On a personal note, it cannot be helped that the "Tsunami" event came very close to heart. We live by the coast, we see the sea almost every week. We are trying to make the most of this beautiful yet daunting "gift" near our home. Making it a meaningful and memorable part of our lives. Walking (waddling actually) with Mathena, I am again reminded how HUGE and VAST the sea is. I am reminded how so much we are in the hands of our GOD and how we should really put our day-to-day in HIS hands. Looking at all the happy families around me, I cannot help but wonder how it'd be like if we were the victims. How would I cope if I were to loose my gals to the sea?
LORD, hear my heart. Take control of all the hurt and sufferings in the Tsunami crisis. Be there to heal and protect, guide and reach out through our frail humanity. We come humbly to you, spare us from more rage and judgements. Forgive us and have merci on us, on this community, this country....Amen.
