Friends Who Care

I've had a lot of people in my life lately expressing their concern for me.  The last 24 hours were difficult when the alert came through on my phone that there had been a crash in a familiar sounding area of the middle east.  Discussing geography and time lines are forbidden so I never post in real time.  I had made a promise to my son that I would ZEN UP this week.  His statement hit me hard "Mom, I don't like it when you sound sad".  A few days later a friend told me in the parking lot of my office, "You seem sad in your blog lately".  When two people tell you you sound sad, it's time to ZEN UP and practice what you preach.  When I heard that one of those killed in the crash based out of SAFB, it hit me hard, but lit a fire under me to give more, do more, be more for our service members who live locally.  I'll keep you posted on what that will look like.
