Linger

Another pretty big earthquake shook me awake last night. First I checked the kids. Peacefully, blissfully sleeping. Then I tried to mail Hubs. When that didn't work I called him and got through on the first try. He was on his way home, on the train, safe. Only then did I turn on the TV to find out what was going on and where. Tsunami warnings, but thankfully no tsunamis this time. Living with uncertainty is hard.　I find it hard to linger in the shower too long or to let the kids play outside for too long. I crave security. Some kind of reassurance that it will all be ok. Looking forward. Breathing deep. Believing. Praying.
