Uncertainty Is Ok

For my entire life, I've believed that uncertainty is not only not OK, it is to be feared and worried about.  I wasn't taught this belief and I didn't actually realize I held it until recently.  This is what psychologists would call one of my "core beliefs".    I'm slowly learning that uncertainty is OK.  I don't need to try to figure out every possible scenario, before it happens, so that I can be prepared.  I am working on "going with the flow".  

Speaking of things you can't plan for.... While Rana is in Syria, Mom has been walking over to Kevin's house every morning to watch Laura while Kevin takes Daniel to school. On her way home Friday morning, Mom stepped in a hole in the yard and fell (around 7:15 a.m).  She didn't tell anyone (not even Dad) until she called me at work at 4:30 p.m. to see if I would come over and look at her arm when I got home.  Long story short....

Urgent Care Center at 6:00 p.m. 

Home with a cast at 8:00 p.m.

Mom fractured her wrist in at least 2 places and is to see an Orthopedic Doctor early next week.  They sent her home with a cast and a sling.  

A few highlights from my week:  

This beauty at church on Sunday.  

Dad watching college baseball.

Memorial Day breakfast with Mom at Le Peep.

Stripes and plaids.

Dad wanted to try out the new Chili's in Indian Land.

Daniel with his first Lightning Bug.  He didn't keep it in the bag for more than 5 seconds...he just wanted to look at it.  I had to catch it for him because he was afraid.  

The good news is that Rana comes home tonight (Saturday).  She had a wonderful trip to Syria to visit her family and we will be thankful to have her back here again.
