Ehlana and Ethan:
This has been a school and music play day for us, and while it has cooled down a bit too; a mid-fifties high and sunny skies is still really great for our area in February! We didn’t get to enjoy as much of the warmth while busy indoors, but we had fun at school with a bit of outdoor time this afternoon; and then the music was awesome as the school band practice was all about getting ready for the seniors’ Valentine’s luncheon on Friday; we followed that up with dinner and a Naomi and the Holiday Harmonies practice at home with our four best friends to get ready for both that luncheon and the school dance on Friday night; and then we had the teen praise team practice in the evening at church that included one song we’re going to do at the service on Sunday and the ongoing prep work for the Easter weekend.
Ethan and I were on our own when we came home from the church and we didn’t take Silkie for a walk because Mom and Dad took her for a longer walk after dinner and while we were busy at the church. Mom had also done a group Magi lesson earlier and didn’t want us to work in the office tonight; so bath or Jacuzzi time followed and now we’re winding down toward nap time now.
Cassie and Michael are currently already busy with their Wednesday work adventures, and while they are still staying in Bangkok; they are traveling in the area for site visits today and continuing to enjoy the awesome, hot, and mostly-sunny weather. They have a move coming up soon, but we’ll save that story for when it happens – and they will be in Thailand for about another week in total; since there is a lot that they wanted to get done there during this trip.
As for the world news front, there is no actual good news to offer despite the never-ending claims of peace talks and negotiations. Ukraine and the Middle East are still being decimated; Venezuela and Cuba and other countries are being destroyed economically through everything from sanction and tariffs to naval blockades; and politicians and mainstream media continue to focus on distraction stories with no care for the harm they are ignoring or outright causing through their actual policies and actions. We are not suggesting that some of those stories aren’t serious and important too, and we wish that nothing bad ever happened, but nothing truly gets done to stop those ‘smaller’ horrors either; and the bad people get away with their crimes if they have enough power with only a very few exceptions when the occasional bad guy is sacrificed for the greater bad!
Okay, that’s an ugly wrap up for this update, but then so is the news of the day. Ethan and I will try to be happier by the time we head to dreamland, and we have had a good day; so there is at least one ray of love and hope in the world – two if you include where Cassie and Michael are right now!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
