Lake Day

Today my husband and I went to the lake. It was so beautiful outside. Little windy but the sun was shining and it was 80 degrees outside. You could see little kids fishing off the marina dock and see people walking their dogs along the shore. My hubby and I sat on a swing and watched our 8 month old Siberian Husky play with something in the grass. We both thought it was a bug or a snake...maybe even a spider based off of her reaction of jumping every few seconds. After this went on for about three minutes she started to slowly bite at whatever it was that had caught her interest. To our surprise the wind picked up and blew a feather and she nearly had a heart attack. I thought to myself, if only we could have the innocence of a dog. Our only care in the world would be eating, sleeping, bathroom breaks, walks and of course being loved on by our masters.

Instead we are faced with war, famine, natural disasters, cheating, divorce, poor government, and an array of other horrible things. In the last few weeks while my husband was gone to an Army school I started to wonder what this world was coming to. You drive down the street and see a bum and wonder (well at least I wonder) 'what has he/she been through?', or 'how did it get to be that bad for them?'. So how do we cope? Many on here would tell me we cope by praying to God and by having faith that in time he will make it better. But, that to me...really isn't enough.

I am choosing a career path soon and wonder which way I should go. I had wanted to be a paramedic and team it with a pilots license so I could fly with Life Flight. I have a sudden urge (after watching "The Blindside") to do social work or psychology and work with kids who have had a difficult life...or are having a difficult time. I see so many kids who have no direction in life and it makes me sad.

Many of this might not make sense to anybody who reads it. If so, I blame my random thought process and my pregnancy lol (I only have 5 weeks left to blame my pregnancy so might as well do it). Until next time...
