Coming Out Of The Darkness
Ever get scared in the night? In the dark, our imaginations can run wild and things can seem scarier than they actually are. Every little thing becomes a monster. Typical minor problems feel overwhelmingly impossible to deal with in the dead of the night then they can in the light of day. And in those foreboding moments, have you ever had anyone tell you that things will look better in the morning? Why is that? The darkness shrouds reality and twists it into something hideous.

Do you know the song made popular in the nineties by Alan Jackson, Summer Time Blues? Originally by Eddie Cochran and even performed by The Who and others, the song talks about being stuck at work when he’d rather be out having fun in the sun.

I don’t know about you, but every year about this time, I get antsy for the feel of the cool sand near the water’s edge between my toes. The sound of the waves crashing along the shoreline and the smell of the saltwater and sunblock all beckon me to go!

See, I am not and never have been one of those moms who count down the days till my kids are out of the house. I cried and mourned when the older three graduated and went away to college. My youngest is still home, but just last night had her eighth grade promotion ceremony! So, (heavy sigh inserted here) once again this fall, her father and I will take her to the high school and do the tour and send her into ninth grade! Yikes! Trust me when I say if there was a way to slow down time, I would have done it long ago!!
