It seems that this winter has been a doozy and it's not over yet. I'm not just talking about the weather.
This winter started off normal enought in NE Ohio, little bit of snow, lots of holiday cheer, high spirits. As it's progressed, the holidays are over, and the spirits are lower, I've seen my brother re-deployed to Iraq, the Egyptian crisis and lots of snow. So now, as the Groundhog day arrives, winter is in full swing with no signs of slowing down, at least not in NE Ohio.
As the news seems to be nothing but horror, I have found some peace with babysitting my goddaughter everyday and reading on my Kindle. I find that the simple things in life keep me grounded. Even though I constantly fear for the Egyptians and our soldiers, I know there isn't much to do other than pray, and send my love through "packages from home" to my brother and his friends.
