That Was a Day ....

Not a lot of words for today, other

than to share how glad I am that it

is now day's end and we survived!

Woke up to no hot water, a call in to

our plumber for early tomorrow, then

a small flood while we tried to figure

it all out. And some "interesting" new

clients via phone, and lots of program

planning in between. Tomorrow will

be better, right? How was your day?

Flood Watch!

We live beside the capital city of our province. It is currently under a Flood Watch. Below is a picture of the river that is high & expected to crest by Saturday night. Those trees are normally hovering over trails for walking. Now the trails are gone & the trees are falling into the river. Fast moving & filling up.

Bit nervous about leaving our home at a time like this but we don't live near the river so I think we'll be okay. Fingers crossed that the river begins to recede quickly so those in the more affected areas are not flooded out. Scary! And sad. 

Captured!

Our oldest son is an actor & model. One of the directors he has worked with a few times captured some shots of Calgary this weekend. A beautiful view of such terrible devastation. Here's the video:

I feel so sad for the families that have endured this flood. They have lost so much. While others comment that it's just "stuff", truly it is the story of a family's life, their home, their sanctuary. Having lost our home to a fire almost 25 years ago, we truly understand what it feels like to be displaced. The loss of innocence, the loss of security & the fear of never being comfortable in a new home lingers for a long time. We're sending donations, wishing we could volunteer to help & sending heartfelt blessings for a peaceful new beginning as all the communities that have been affected by the flood of 2013 in our province begin to rebuild.
