God, angels, karma, coincidence, luck.

today, I was supposed to complete another neurotic packing list. my husband was supposed to drive the kids to my mother's house and our dog to our good friends'. we were supposed to go to the airport, probably have a quick McDonald's lunch there and take a charter flight we've booked a couple of days ago. by 1pm we would have been patiently waiting in the boarding line treasuring every moment of our indecently romantic trip with great complacency and talking about what to eat at Wagamama's and how to get to our hotel located near King's Cross station. and at approximately 4 o'clock this afternoon, we would have been in London.

God, angels, karma, coincidence, luck. whatever it really is. I feel  immensely grateful. and I feel deeply sad.

Oh, thank goodness! GOsh, what is happening is terrible...

I'm so glad you're safe and for whatever reason cancelled your trip. The world scares me, but somehow I doubt we'll run into any terrorism crossing the prairies of Wyoming and Nebraska in the next few days!

My thoughts and prayers are with my European buddies!

Indeed, there are angels amoung us. Nothing is by chance, or coincidence. Continued Blessings to you and your family.

[Seriously Steph.]

So glad you and yours are OK and things didn't work out for that trip! I just keep thinking, what is this world coming to? At times like these it almost makes you feel guilting having brought children into this mess. It makes me sad. Sigh...

I have no doubt based on my conversations with you thus far that God/angels/karma/coincidence/luck are keeping watch over you...and I'm blessedly grateful that's the case.

That was close. Glad that you are all safe and not one of those poor souls who suffered.
