The Earth's In Orbit

Besides this whole thing with Niko's school, I'm leaving on Tuesday for a week at Girl's Camp. That's right, Girl's Camp. I'm one of two leaders, and we'll have eleven girls. It's frustrating to leave right now, but on the other hand, perhaps it is a good thing. Five days without phones and electronics and distractions. Five days to be with my friend Cindy and these incredibly crazy and amazing girls. I am once again reminded that no matter what I am dealing with personally, life goes on. It's sweet and bitter at the same time. How dare the world continue to orbit while we're in crises? How fortunate that it does.
