thoughts:
     the screen saver on my laptop varies, sometimes it's a kaleidoscope of colors. Makes me think of a toy Kaleidoscope I had as a kid... I loved to look through it, turn it and every time were different shapes and colors. I also had a metal top with a handle that you pushed so it'd turn faster and faster... I'd stare at it and the bright red, blue, yellow, and clown shapes would make many different shapes and color combinations. Always something new:  I was mesmerized every time.  I'd carry it to either grandpa and ask them to push the handle (they were strong and could make it go a lot faster than I could)... we'd laugh and giggle till the top would slow down, stop and fall over. Such fun we had.
    In thinking of this, it reminds me how much life is like that. The harder you push, the faster you go... go ... go .... go ... until sometimes you just drop and fall over.  Most humans are not satisfied with just enjoying "the simple things". We humans push harder and harder to go further and further, and this is good. Mostly. Sometimes though, I think God says: 'hey, I'm in charge here, just slow down, and enjoy what I have created, you humans cannot "top" me. I have my Hand on your world.'
    Be thankful, accept challenges with vigor, but never forget:  there is someone stronger than you, pushing that handle on the "top" we call Earth. God is in ultimate control, always. Enjoy life. Savor happiness the good Lord has given you. Share His love. Pray for those less fortunate.
      God bless.

Life changes. Tragedies. Trauma. But, I am still here. Moving forward. The photo in this entry is part of a letter to my family, kind of explaining "who I am" now. Their concern is for my happiness, and I sincerely appreciate that, and their love for me.  In recent years of going through illnesses and deaths of those close to me, I have gained a renewed vision of Life.  I am more accepting of the unknown in life. I am willing to take the chance at "love": be it simple friendships, or something more.  Some say, don't move too fast, take your time. Some say, get out, do all you can.   Well, I sort of combine the two.  Alone time is important, but also I need the comfort and warmth of others in my life. What is thrown at me now is simply, "added into" the mix.  I do not "fret" over trivialities. Don't get angry. Don't worry. I am grateful for time spent with family and "old" friends. I am equally accepting of "new" re

Angel Wings

Today I missed my Dad.  He's been in heaven almost 4 years, but today was his Birthday.  He would've been 94.  Spent this morning at church. This afternoon boating on a local lake.  Dad liked boating... I think he'd have enjoyed the day.  Through all this heat we've had clear skies. Today the clouds rolled in.  These clouds I photographed reminded me of angel wings.... sort of a "sign" from my Daddy.  Thanks Dad, I appreciate your creativity and love. Give your parents a hug if they are still in your life. If they have passed on, give someone else's parents a hug, they will like it, trust me, there are never too many hugs in your life.
