In the shadows of missiles

Day 1279 - the war is still going on in full force but life is slowly moving back to functional, like having my numerology class again, despite the threat of missile attacks. It was nice to be immersed for two hours in something completely different. It was nice to forget all about bombs and missile, about sirens and above all the safety of our soldiers and just think about how many kids one should have and what kind of partner s/he needs. I find it more amazing with every lesson and I can't wait for the next one; to learn more, to understand more...  Life in our war torn country is something only a local person can grasp. Living in the shadow of war and trying to carry on like nothing is going around. Can you imagine being in a suburb of Manhatan and worry about missiles falling from the sky on your house. Or mane Paris or London. Now try to imagine going through this every night for more than two weeks. Would you be able to smile? Would you be able to work or study? This is our crazy reality and I am thankful we got few hours of rest so we had no interruption during class. Half an hour after we finished while I was driving back home I heard on the radio the sirens alert.
