The psychology of concerns

For 50 days I did not have those small worries that we all know very well.

There was one big concern- LIFE.

Now life is so normal that I wonder if it was only few days ago that I was so afraid.

I saw yesterday that even the Saturday's motorcyclists and the cyclists are back on the road

again, and I knew that it is the time for the small and daily worries again.

50 DAYS

50  days of war are over. I think some of us suffer from PTSD.

There is a relief, but we are very careful.

There were several wars here, but sense of life threatening was stronger than ever this time.

Some of us paid personal price in past wars, including I, but this time the sense of helplessness

leaves you exhausted when the sounds of the sirens are over.

Each war brings new element that we did not experienced before.

It is a good thing to repress the thoughts about the next time. 

walking with dogs

All over  Blogland people are walking with their dogs in such beautiful areas.

They cross bridges, walk in green green fields, walking near rivers and castles.

Sometimes I wish I  could walk with my dog to Blogland.

Here is where we walk every morning at 6 o'clock.

more of the same

I don't remember if it the day 46 or 49 of this war.

I talked with some of my friends who are grandmothers too

and found out that they feel what I feel. We are tiered and sad.

Of course there are people here that suffer more, so we should be happy with what we have.

Last Saturday we played for a couple of hours in between we have to go to the sheltered room 3 times.

than I drove home those 35 minutes and came home to the sirens here. 

real time

Before I went to Tel-Aviv I checked how safe it is.

The orange rectangles on the TV let us know where are the sirens

in real time.

I saw that there are sirens in my gran kids area.

I took the train to Tel- Aviv any way.

May be I can get use to live with fear.

bomb shelter again

My legs and hands are still shaken.I just

came back from the bomb shelter.

I knew it is coming when I saw that there are rockets all over the country.

The siren was few minuets ago.

our bomb shelter is a place where children are playing their music in days of peace.

I took some photos tonight.

I think I am not going to sleep soon. It is almost midnight but the sirens are now all over Israel.

monday morning

Shirley deserve more photos of fruits and vegetables. 

So I went to our small one and only supermarket (mini market as we call it).

Monday morning is not a good day to take photos there, but I did.
