I'm not saying anyone here complaining, but I'm weary of the non-stop news reports about this heat wave. I started thinking of a family member overseas serving our country and came up with the below:
Before you complain about how hot it is...realize this: 1.) it isn't 109 degrees; 2.) You're not 5,700 miles from home; 3.) You're not dressed in a full ABU uniform and helmet and carrying 70+ lbs.; and 4.) there is very little chance that anyone will shoot at you or that you might drive over a bomb in the road today! Thanks to all who serve.
I'm a Christian mother of three who enjoys art, animals, raising butterflies, books, baking/cooking, gardening, hiking, insects, music, nature, pets, photography, science, the shore..., and writing.
