I Want Good 'Things' For Everyone . . .

So I have little to say this week because . . . well, it's so hard when tragic 'things' happen close to home . . . 'things' I simply can't comprehend . . . I can't imagine ever wanting to do horrific 'things' to people and all of this is just so sad that I sort of just shut my brain off at times like this . . . probably not the healthiest way to deal with 'things' like this . . . I just pray to God to help these people find their right path in life . . . to do good . . . to want good 'things' for everyone . . . regardless of anything else . . . because . . . really that is simply how I feel . . . I guess I am just naive that way . . . but I'm going to continue to live my life that way . . . hoping only for good 'things' and thinking that people only want the same as well . . .

 . . . there is not much green around these parts this week as we are seeing loads of raindrops . . . if for even a few moments the rain lets up, my children are begging to go outdoors . . . the other day they were outdoors and I could hear peals of screaming laughter and I poked my head out quickly to see what was going on . . . my brother was over for dinner {which I was cooking at that moment} and when he is over the kids always get him outdoors to play with them. You see, I am lucky enough to have a brother who will actually play with my kiddos. Whatever they want to do, he is up for. Mostly though, they love for him to swing them as high as possible on our tree swing . . . and oh, do they go high {makes my heart go pitter-patter a bit} . . . I grabbed my camera and darn it, but it had a 50mm lens on it. I didn't have time to change it out, so I quickly snapped off some shots of the kids with the biggest smiles this spring . . . good 'things' in my home that night . . .
