vacation

We have officially began a seven day, sun filled vacation. I drove straight through for 10 hours and stopped 4 times. My husband was perfectly capable and willing to drive, but I liked the action and concentration of the driving to keep my mind occupied. I don't want to think about everything that could be, should be, but ain't. I am still so sad and misunderstanding of incidents of this world. Why some things happen and the grief people must still be feeling and my family and I having everything so well....blessing? luck? God is watching over us. Is that to say that he's not watching over others? I tear up and ache every time I think about her. So close to home...too close. Even now in this beautiful setting, with the white sands, blue water, smells of sea, sun, and tanning oil, I can't get Albert Pike tragedy out of my mind.
