Complexities

It's a Monday morning and we are in full swing, but I just had to write a bit today.  It is a fact that the busier you are the more organized you become and consequently are able to accomplish WAY more than usual.
It's a day off for most of the world, but not us. 
My daughter, who is in the process of becoming a life guard, needed more swim time, and we made the "sacrifice" of joining the YMCA.  This will be beneficial to ALL of us!  I have two children on staff there already, and perhaps the 3rd will be soon to follow!  We started off well today, and swam our laps.
Tonight is book club, here, and we are back in business with having folks over.  My husband completed the new floor in the living room/dining room and it is beautiful.  So happy to have it looking gorgeous.
I read a World War 2 autobiography last night.  Fascinating to read how hard it was for people back in the 30's and 40's.  We have SO much now.
If things get worse for our economy and the value of the dollar diminishes significantly we have some hard times in store for us too.  The headline in the news today is relevant to this issue.  Things are changing.
In all this change I know Who is in charge.  What a relief.
My friend went to be with Jesus the other day.  Her passing came more quickly than anticipated.  She is rejoicing in Heaven.  Her loss here is only beginning to be felt.
Complexities.  The puzzles of life are so much more interesting, and heartbreaking, than the ones we choose to do.
