Am I Going to Die?

Well, I have to tell you that I am pretty honest with my son. When he asked me the other day if our cat was going to die someday, I said yes without hesitation. Then, of course, he asked if he was going to die. Naturally this gave me pause, but I went ahead and told him that yes, we will all die eventually. He then asked if I was going to die faster, and I said yes, that I'm supposed to since I am older. We also had a little talk about heaven and angels. Ever since that day, he has been springing random death questions at me. Last night was the deepest conversation to date. He asked me why we couldn't just live forever, and will I still watch over him when I die. Good grief! He asked if I would still go to heaven if I got shot. Creepy! Then, he asked if bad guys shoot kids. I was flabbergasted. I don't know where this came from, but it's very unnerving, let me tell you.

So, I tried my best to allay his fears, but stay honest at the same time. Of course, with the whole heaven and angels thing, I have no way of knowing if I'm truly being honest or not. Still, it's what I believe, so I feel that a person can't go wrong with that. I was wondering, though, do all kids go through this death thing? If so, why?

I Love Rainy Days

It may seem strange to you, but I really do. Rainy days mean getting all cozy and happy indoors to me. Whether curling up with a good book, watching a movie, or just finishing up chores around the house, it just makes me feel content. I like listening to it, too. Nothing is more soothing then the sound of rain falling in a steady rhythm outside your window. Yes, these darkened days are definitely good for napping, if I were the sort that took naps. Getting out in it, well, that is a different story. I don't mind dancing, walking, or playing in the rain, but I am not thrilled with driving in it. That's the only downside to a rainy day, and I've got nowhere I need to be right now, so there.

It's Not That I Haven't Been Inspired...

I've just been busy doing other things. I started this blog thinking I was going to get very creative, and I sort of got distracted from it. Haha! That's definitely one of my worst traits, I am way too easily distracted. I didn't think of that until right now. Well, in any case, I will try to write on here a little more often. We'll see how that goes. It may just be a bunch of babbling, though, since I have a habit of doing that too. In the mean time, I hope that you are safe and happy whoever you are. :0)
