Man.
I am so sick of feeling helpless to do anything and being worried like crazy about people. And I think I'm gonna puke from being so worried. And it's just bullcrap that terrible things happen to amazing people and I don't understand anymore. And I'm not making any sense so I'm sorry I just need to write this out somehow. Stupid ice storms, stupid people. I think I give up.

Well, sometimes you just gotta let people deal with their own crap. In many ways, if they need you to deal with it, they haven't truly dealt with it. Some things are just out of your hands.
Lean back, chill out and see how things go. Pray for the best, prepare for the worst. |

Yep. It really sucks when bad things happen to good people. It sucks more when people don't see what's coming, and you see it so plainly. And if you don't care about what happens to them, that feels wrong somehow.
Well, that wrong feeling is mostly guilt, and a lot of times it's unfounded. Remember that free will works both ways, including the choice to screw things up. Some people will do that... it gets worse when you're a parent. Sometimes, you just have to let them screw it up. And sometimes, you have to curse a higher power for allowing things to happen. Then breathe, relax, and move on. Too much stress is bad for you... honest

We were walking our dog at around 10:15pm last night. There was about an inch or two of new snow falling. We were about 100 feet from the T intersection. A car came from the left side of the T to turn down the street we were on. It's a downhill left turn. He/She must have been going too fast since the car didn't make the turn and slid through the intersection and ended up on the grass of the house on the side were walking on.
My wife said that if we had left the house 20-30 seconds sooner, we all would have been hit. We probably would not have been able to react in time to move out of the way. Things happen; who do you blame? If we were hit we certainly would not have blamed God. That person probably takes that turn every day of the week. They knew better. Thankfully, they only made a big mess of the peoples lawn. They missed hitting the "stop" sign by about 2 feet.
