The last few days have been busy and full of lots of different things. It has involved a lot of yard work and trying to clean up the house. I am going through the bookshelf. Levi has grown out of many of the books that are in the shelf. he no longer reads the big board books. He is very interested in books that he can read himself and more meaty books that I can read to him at night! I want to clean off the bookshelf because lots of other books have now come up from the island. I am also planning to get a minute to go through his clothes as well, hoping to move him from a full drawer of clothes that he barely fits to a drawer half full of well fitting clothes!
My heart is sad at the moment. For lots of reasons but some of them are more at the forefront. My friends are selling their house. Now that is not such a sad or devastating event, except for the fact that this is their dream home. This is the land they dreamed of, the house they designed, and the gardens they have put in. They are selling. When the economy started to crash and jobs started to fail they bore some of that but it has got too much and they have made the decision to downsize. It is breaking their hearts and I am sad for them. I wish that I could do something other than just listen and sympathize. I wish that suddenly, miraculously, I had a lot of money and could solve some of their problem. It is said that money doesn't buy happiness but I think that I would be happy to give it a shot. I think money could buy a lot of close friends a lot more peace of mind.
