Ethan and Ehlana:
We have ended February on a warmer, happy note as the warming continued with a high around sixty degrees this afternoon. Our last school day of February was uneventful; the nice weather had us biking the trails and playing with our friends after school; and those adventures were the highlights of our day. Dinner and a work evening with Mom and Dad kept us busy for the rest of the day through to another round of bath or Jacuzzi time; and we continued to do what we can to help out in Ukraine – to help the people that are stuck in the middle of that conflict.
The fighting in Ukraine continues to be the top story in the news around the world, and we aren’t going to get into another commentary on that again tonight, but we do want to mention that this crisis is just one of many serious problems in the world. It might not seem like that if you only look at the news highlights of the day, and when you think about that; it is a normal trend – one that is usually creating fear and exploiting crises for profit or power regardless of which side of the issue people are on. We aren’t bringing that up for a rant – just to add that we don’t stop the rest of our charity or business work – we’re adding more help where needed just as we do with as many problems whenever we are in a position to offer our support. We always wish that we could do more, but that isn’t an option anytime soon; so we will, as always, do what we can; and accept our limitations.
For right now, our limitations are related to being tired after a long, busy day; so we’re going to wrap this up and move on to nap time – just ahead of the start of March. While we move on to do that; we’ll hope that the new month will also be a chance for improvements in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world. That seems a bit optimistic tonight, but there is always hope even in the darkest moments; and we’ll choose hope and love over fear and despair.
Maybe our world leaders will start doing the same.
Until next time, this little blast from your near or distant past is written for you with love from Ethan and Ehlana Proctor – twin junior Magi Masters of the Light!
