my top 5...My Mind's Eye

The December Challenge at My Mind's Eye is to scrap a wish list...

That is easy, but after spending the weekend alternating between wanting 

to hear about the tragedy in Connecticut, (only when my kids weren't around)

to not being able to hear anything else about not just it, but the news in general.

It was so upsetting that I wanted to go pick my children up from 

school immediately and start home schooling...

of course, that wouldn't solve the fact that our world is full of violence.  

Living in a bubble wouldn't change that.

Here is the MME blog post:

My Mind's Eye December Challenge

But it feels kinda silly for me to drivel on about papers and glitter...

so I'll just say that not only are the families of those killed in that horrific

tragedy on my prayer wish list, but I wish for the other children, 

teachers & really everyone in that town to be able to find a way to 

move forward and heal themselves, together...

The point is, after Friday, my wish list got paired down pretty easily.

My family and their health and happiness is really my only wish.
