Sadness all Around

I don't know where to start... the terror the insanity in this world the sadness it is oh so much. The bombings at the Boston Marathon. My dear God what can we do to help this world be a better place. I fear the hatred and terror is gaining momentum and we will all soon be gone.
When trying to find some peace in this world, I look at the innocent faces of my children and think how can I make the world better for them?

The waiting games

So the ballistic talk is still coming out of north Korea and there has been a clear threat of a missile launch sometime soon. Hmm does that mean war will start or does that mean North Korea will now back down from all this as they realize threats are going nowhere.
The whole not knowing and leaving in constant fear/ wonder of what will happen is really getting to me.
Originally this blog started as me living as an ex-pat and some fun things I do with my family, now it is me trying to deal with stressors way beyond my control,
I am hoping that this waiting patiently and. It reacting will be beneficial in the end.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Monday April 8th
Today's news reported that North Korea may be launching a missile this week. The crazy talk is hopefully just that crazy talk but as reported by CBS news in a John McCain interview the chance of accidental war is also a concern. I have felt this all along that something could easily happen to start both sides fighting on the border. I also heard today that a family living from OIS has gone back to their home country to escape the unforeseen happenings on the peninsula.
As for now we will continue to keep updated on the latest news and try our best to not worry too much and go on with our everyday lives.

Anxiety levels

So I have not posted in a very long time. Lack of motivation was the initial deterrent now it is preoccupied and stressed out mind. The North Korean ballistic threats and craziness has been keeping me up at night. I have been reading lots of info on the situation and surprisingly the more I read the less worried I am. In essence the north has nothing but it's military threats to try and lift the nation out of the trenches of poverty and starvation.
As I am getting my anxiety under control I have decided to run a half marathon in May. This is giving me something to really work on. I am also thinking of doing a mountain bike race with the MTB group here on the island.
I am using motivational quotes to help me achieve my physical goals along with mental well being.
