It seems as if it has been raining for a week. Georgia has about $250 millions of dollars in damage, the death toll is now 10 and we, the humans on the planet are left realizing how much control that we really do not have.
We can control interest rates, but can't make people spend - we can invest money in airports, but cannot make people want to land there - we can ask people to marry us, but cannot make them be faithful - we can build many buildings on land, but cannot protect them when mother nature needs to open up the sky and release.

As you have seen, the sky did open up and there was nothing that any man, woman or child to could to close it. There was so much water that bridges collapsed, streams ran over, school closed, six flags became a water park, cars became hunks of floating metal/fiberglass, and lives were unfortunately lost.
My prayers and blessings go out to those that I do know and do not know that were affected by this week of rain and pain. Please help them heal and find a way to make sense of it all. Thank you to all of those people that have made themselves and their resources available to physically or financially aid the people that we touched by the flood.
As I continue to inhabit this planet, I realize what I do and do not have control over. I have learned to seek out and appreciate things that have value in life. And these things are not electronic, expensive and they are accessible to all.
Family and friends have become very essential and irreplaceable. The memories that we create as we enjoy those around us. We have to find time to embrace and love those people in our lives that define who we are and make us better people.
On a lighter note, if we have to have something fall from the sky, can it be a bit of eye candy that has the capability to make some toes curl?
