Truth is the only safe ground to stand on. – Elizabeth Stanton

Isn’t that the truth? Hehe. For reals though, doesn’t it make so much sense? If we allow ourselves to be liars, even the little white lies (which we even the most of honest of people commit, to include myself), then aren’t we immediately putting ourselves onto a road that slowly but surely becomes rockier and rockier? I will be the first to admit that I am guilty of those little white lies….you know the kind….to save someone embarrassment, to avoid hurting someone we care about, the little white lies that make us feel like we are doing a greater good? Yet, did we save someone with that lie? Did we really? Or did we make what would have been a reality that the person could have dealt with, a fake truth?

When we get comfortable with the little white lies, the bigger and deeper and stronger lies will just end up coming easier. I’ve know some people whose entire lives were lived in lies. It is a sad thing to see. I’ve lived at least one chapter of my life in a complete lie. I never want to have that feeling of losing so many years of my life wasted…..

Anyways, I finish this off hours and hours after I started…had to go to work. For the most part, I am a very honest person. I do not lie to save myself from embarrassment, persecution, harm, what have you. However, I have found myself feeling like I am helping by telling a lie to someone else in order to prevent them from hurting. It is but one of my many faults that I need to work out and I don’t find myself doing it much lately.

This is one of my daily sites that I check to see what’s going on in the world, and more specifically, “over there”. Good information for spouses of deployed soldiers and military members. Check it out when you have time. When a day comes when I get worried about Jun, I check this site and look for the daily Factbox. It removes my fears for the moment when I see nothing has happened because then I know Jun is just held up in a meeting or something with the Company. Hope someone finds it useful. They seem to have the “firsts” for all the news over there.

So we’ve had a busy last part of the week and weekend coming up. Tomorrow, Saturday for us, we are going to our FRG’s picnic at Biggs and right before that, the girls are going to Cheer at the Easter Parade at Old Fort Bliss. Then, on Sunday, Kat and I are going to take the kids to watch Bridge to Terabithia (???). That should be fun. Monday, the kids are at school and I have an appointment for some womanly matters…lol. I worked full days yesterday and today….so I will not have a break until late Monday afternoon. Whew!

I kinda like being busy and not having time to just sit and relax. It makes the time go by much faster. But, like right now, I haven’t had any time to so much as sweep at home, which is the least I do every single day. I think I’m not gonna be picking up any back to back days anymore. This is killer.

Anyways, Jun is good. If I haven’t already said it, he’s got his new camera now and he’s having fun playing with it. We’ve gotten much more pictures in the last two weeks than the whole time he’s been over there.

Ok, I’m at work so I gotta go….probably won’t be any posts until Monday. I’ll try but probably won’t happen. Stay blessed, Val.
