Kiel decided to take a quick trip out to Ballston Spa to visit his brother. This doesn't make any sense to me. The semester just started, there are assignments in the works. A rhythm is just starting to be established. His car is old and making odd noises. The price of gas is still high. But there was no dissuading him.
Ah, the naivety of youth! What better time to jump out there and test your wings! I did plenty of testing myself. I shudder to think about some of the less than wise ventures I embarked upon. I certainly learned a lot about what NOT to do. And somehow I managed to survive despite those decisions.
Its harder as a Mom to watch your kids do things that could blow up on them than it was as a young adult to do inadvisable stuff. I guess that's how my Mom got to be such a prayer warrior. I pushed that skill to the max! And now here I am on the other side learning a whole different set of life coping skills (like biting your tongue and letting the chips fall).
Good thing I have plenty to keep myself occupied and engaged. What with all the coping for my own issues, I have much less time to interfere with my kids' lives. But I *do* have time to pray often and heartily. And so I shall.
