Six Word Saturday

Re-construction is much like a pregnancy.

I find that the first thought I have on a Saturday morning is usually the one I write for my six word Saturday. The thought this morning was based on a comment the builder made. Everytime something is removed, shoddy construction or water damage is revealed and that means more money. Doesn't everything? And he expressed concern that it would affect our friendship but he wants us to know what he found.

I started thinking about the teenagers I teach who are pregnant - and how the boys they made these babies with have already left, just as the girls start to show. (OK, it's a Faulknerian stream of consciousness thing, but I was waking up.)

I was thinking about the emotional upheaval of my own pregnancies and how my relationship with my husband grew as I did and thinking how much the boys will miss - which led to the convoluted thought that there is emotional upheaval in this rebuilding process but the parties are committed to seeing it through with the relationships intact.

And I feel blessed.
