here I was enjoying my thirty minutes of solitude by playing my daily 5 games of
Bubble Witch on Facebook. House was quiet, husband and the boys were already
out the door to begin another work/school day. I had gotten the laundry in the wash,
the dishes in the dishwasher, our bed made, and all the trash out. Ok, so you
get the gist, I had accomplished quite a bit in the course of two hours on a
Tuesday morning. Now normally, I don't scroll anything past an hour on my Facebook
wall, but yesterday my quick failure to get through the Bubble Witch game gave
me a few minutes to see what everyone was posting and how another new week in
the year 2012 was treating them.
It was a post about a very serious situation
in the world, (I have put the link below) that in all honestly, put a scare in
me like none I've ever felt before. I read the title and told myself, if I
don't read it, it's not true. How many of
you have done that? You've seen or heard something, say for example a noise
outside in your yard in the dark. I know that some would quickly get up to investigate;
others would sink deeper in their chair or under the covers and tell themselves
it's just the wind, it's nothing, and it will go away. Something about this
article tells me that the problems they are facing with the Fukushima Reactor are
not going to go away any time soon. I hope for the worlds sake, it doesn't get
any worse, but at the same time it doesn’t appear that it will be getting any
better in the near future either.
As I read this article, and mind you, I try
to stay away from anything sad, upsetting or negative these days, but in all
honesty this time I kept reading rather than tell myself the problem will go
away. Deep down, I was worried. Over the course of the day I pondered what I had
read. Would it? Could it? Will it ever affect
my friends and loved ones? Look out heavenly father, my payers are and
will continue to be going into over load.
Lately I have found that I love to share my
stories that I have read or heard about, within my day, with my family at the
dinner table, it makes for very interesting conversation. Yet somehow I held
back on this to give myself time to find a way to talk about it as a way to
educate my family, not fill them with a sense of fear. I personally have never
been in a natural disaster, I've never been to war, (with the exception of
battling a school due to their lack of implementing rules against bullying) and
I have never been told that my family and I had to leave our home because of an
invisible danger. However I have been exposed to radiation and nuclear
treatments for cancer. With my treatments I found that just being exposed in minuet
quantities, still made me feel very sick, tired, lethargic, and nauseated. I
just can't image what the people that were living in the area, when the initial
damage occurred, are dealing with now. I
pray that with our advanced technology and the ingenious minds of the people on
our great planet, they will find a solution to end this and any posing fear of world devastation.
This article also makes me realize how
precious life is and how sometimes it is so easy to take it for granted. As you
read the attached article, each person will take a piece of it in their own
way. For myself – I wish for a speedy solution and I thank God for each day
that I wake and before me are my husband and my boys, my family, and my
friends. Life is a blessing and I’m choosing to live each day as fully and as positive as I
can without be phony. To quote Joe Dirt, “Life is a Garden – Dig it.”
