My oldest brother is a Marine, and he's been in Afghanistan since late October. They were set to return home this week however, there has been a delay. Those dreaded words that any military family doesn't ever want to hear. We got the call today that he is "Stranded until further notice." I just chuckled at myself because I remembered what Kristina said so many times in Crank about being GUFN'd, grounded until further notice. Maybe we should start using the SUFN for instances like these, might make it a little more lighthearted.
Which brings me to my next point. I think people take life way too seriously. You have to be able to laugh and love and laugh at yourelf and love yourself. As Socrates said "Enjoy yourself- it's later than you think." In situations such as these when you are counting on a time or date and things get thrown for a loop by circumstances out of your control you just have to roll with the punches and be grateful that your brother is in Europe and safe. I can honestly say that I love life and so thankful for every single day. Bumps and all.
I tried to put pictures in here but it really isn't working out for me. I think I'll have to break up with the idea of pictures in this post. Maybe next time.
