Lately my life has been filled with sweet minutiae. I really like the word minutiae. In fact, I like it so much that you would think that by now I would have learned how to spell it. You might think that, but you would be wrong.
Nevertheless, this sweet minutiae of which I speak has consisted of events like shopping with Mommy Lipstick and hauling JBB to a birthday party and pushing the kids on our swing in the yard.
What is devastating to me is that so many in my beloved South are hurting and suffering from something as benign as rain...benign that is until 15 inches arrives in a single day. Then that water which is normally a life force of all humankind has the power to snuff out the lives and livelihoods of thousands.
The Lipstick Household isn't affected, but I grieve for those who are hurting. I can't imagine losing everything. Starting over. Really starting over. I desperately want for those folk's lives to be touched by grace and hope and a bit of sweet, comforting minutiae.

loving that you are all ok - keep blogging - they are great reads!
I need spell check for words like minutiae as well.
The rain and flooding there is unreal.
So many other places would love the rain too, the world we know is not the world we knew.
I know, me too! So sad.

It is very sad and so scary to think of the destruction of water.
Last year I experienced the dreadful flood as well...it was heart breaking~ the whole experience made me stronger now.
PS: minutiae, I'll try to use this word~
Peace*
It really is horrible in do many places right now, I love your eloquence in describing thoughts many of us are having.
Hugs at you Miss Lipstick,

I am glad you are doing OK there and not under water. Agreed that it is so sad about those that are dealing with the flooding.
An aside, your writing is wonderful and I enjoy reading.
