A reminder to myself that problems are so relative. I have none. Messy bedrooms and volleyballs in the ditch, a tight budget, and a doggy who sneaks a poop upstairs now and again, worries about various insignificant things I cannot control.... these are not problems.



I received a call at work from a client. A mother. I won't bother describing how she sounded...I don't think I could come close.



She was asking for a donation to the funeral home where her son was to be buried. He had been shot and killed.



I just printed that check. I tucked it into the envelope and stamped it. I haven't spoken out loud since.



My daughter just texted me that she made an "A" on both of her exams today. I texted back, "Let's celebrate." Later this evening, she has volleyball practice. I'm ashamed to admit that I sometimes feel annoyed when it's time to drive her. I feel the deep need to love on my kids.



My sorrow for the mother who can no longer put her arms around her son spills out in tears that can't help her at all. I'm praying. I'm not even totally sure what or how I'm praying, just pressing outwardly a hurt I can't vocalize.
