Today like everyday….

Today like every day...

I miss the mountains and the island air

I miss the cuddles, the kisses and the smiling faces

I miss the laughter and the joking with the incredible nannies

I miss the familiarity and comfort of the walk down the mountain

I miss the friendships and the challenges

I miss the bumpy roads and the nightly sounds

I miss the messy faces and the dirty hands

 

I miss the random attacks and the crowded lap

I miss the simplicity of life and the regularity of laughter

I miss the humility and the gratitude

I miss the connection and wholeness I feel when I am doing what I was made for… when I am 100% in my element doing what I love.

I miss it all.

***The weather icon on my computer screen tonight tells me that Port Au Prince is suffering from thunderstorms tonight- as I sit in my comfy computer chair and contemplate bed I am thinking about all of those people sitting in makeshift tents tonight as the water seeps in coupled with dirt to make mud. As they contemplate sleep tonight they not only have to compete with the wetness and the dampness, they have to find hope, resiliency and determination to sustain them until the sun shines again. Please keep all of these people in your thoughts and prayers tonight, and be thankful for all that you have.
