Sunrise 30 December 2008
Good Morning, Kuwait!

There are tiny, fleecy clouds in the sky, nothing to speak of, no rain in sight. The scum on the horizon is diminished. It is going to be another gorgeous “winter” day in Kuwait. Light sweater weather – my favorite!

Christmas is all put away, and we are readying to welcome in the New Year. Happy New Year (already) to my friends who celebrated the Islamic New Year yesterday. May God richly bless you in the year to come.
(As I write that, I realize with a start that we don’t think the way God does. What if the economic crisis, our dwindling investments, the rising prices – what if these are all a part of God’s blessing, and we don’t see it? What if he is demonstrating that we can live more simply, more happily, with less? What if he is telling us we can be happy eating less, spending less, what if he is telling us our greatest blessings are family? good health? moderation? Hmmmmmmm. . . . . . )


I read we have a cold weekend ahead but no sign of rain…we need rain too or we will have a dusty summer again 🙂
I see we have the possibility of rain on Friday, like 30%, and then it gets COLD and also there is still a chance – oh Amu, maybe SNOW!
Its funny my mom and aunts say the same thing about the crisis all over the world. They think that it might make people less focused on money and more focused on values.
Yeah amazing lovely weather. Definitely a shame to be inside office.
