Day 3137: Invisible

You can be hard to miss and feel invisible at the same time – that’s  what I was reminded of today

It’s 7: 11 PM on day 3137 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time with my people and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water – we’ve now raised $2 396 of $28 000 with 69 days to go

Today I was somewhere and all the doctors were in one corner, teachers in the other and students in the other – at one point someone had a 15-minute conversation before they even noticed I was there. I’m hard to miss but often invisible. I often wish I was with my kiddies
