The Weekly Photo Challenge is “Look Up.”
The flag flies at half-staff to honor those who recently lost their lives in Dallas Texas.
It has been a somber week.
I told my husband that my mind can barely fathom all that’s occurred.
Admittedly I have no answers.
My deeply introverted soul is still processing this.
I grieve.
Violence…tragedy…sorrow…
Perpetuating…spiraling…
While I was driving this week I looked up…and paused when I saw a flag at half-staff.
Once again…half-staff.
This image stayed with me, almost like an imprint.
For many reasons there has been too much mourning.
We live in a world with many shades of gray, yet we are often challenged by absolutes.
I am far from perfect at maneuvering through all this.
Still, somehow, we all must move forward.
I am a realist, so I am cautious.
Still, I remind myself to act with kindness…
To act with patience…
To act with respect…
To act with peace.
I've always enjoyed writing and finally decided it was time to blog! As part of my profession I write every day, but I'm now trying to take the time to write creatively. My family and friends have been very encouraging as there is little that is written down in the way of a family chronicle. This is a favorite topic of mine! In addition to family history, I write about life, family, friends and faith. My husband is a full-time parent to our special needs daughter. I’ve explored this topic, too. I also enjoy music, crocheting, reading and relaxing with my family. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer!

I was moved by your post
Thank-you, wildernessjoy. I’ll admit it took me a while to process what I felt in order to write it. Best wishes, Cathy
