Happy that you, Hubby and Poppy were safe last night. If you do not have a real storm shelter, may be a good time to invest in one. Those storms are becoming stronger and stronger. I do not know if it’s due to climate change or that the atmosphere is a bit different. Whatever the reason, I would like you and family to be in an area that can withstand high intensity winds. I cannot say the same for Florida. There are no basements here because of water wherever you seem to dig. I am still trying to get used to a puddle being called a lake. We have a lake in our backyard. But, in reality it is a small pond. I don’t want to harp on this. Just be safe especially when it’s nighttime and you are sound asleep and may not hear the sirens blasting away. Really sad that this storm had casualties. Not good news.

No PT today. Made a phone call. Guess hubby cancelled and then told me he didn’t. But whom am I to argue. He’s hurting, yet I thought the exercise would help. I will mention it at his appointment next week with the orthopedist’s assistant.

Can you believe that tomorrow night is Trivia?? Where has this week gone? Yesterday I thought it was Sunday. Maybe the people who have been missing will be here. I’m hoping that all is OK.

Will now let you get about your business. So glad you took the necessary precautions. Talk to you later.

We’re All in the Same Boat

We are all on this earth together, learning and teaching together in many different ways.

We’re all in the same boat. We just have different paddles, and perhaps we find ourselves on different rivers. We all live in human bodies. These are the vehicles in which we move through our world. We are all made of flesh, blood, and bone, with brains, hearts, and lungs to power us. Our paddles — the tools we use to move through the world — vary, as do the bodies of water, the environments in which we find ourselves.

Some of us use our high IQs to get where we want to go. Some of use our smiles, others use kindness, a gift with language, or athletic ability. Some of these qualities we were born with and others are skills we have learned. Considering this metaphor in light of your own life can be very enlightening. What tools are you using to get from point A to point B in your life? Chances are, you and the people you know have used many different tools in various combinations throughout your lives to get where you needed to go. Just as with oars or paddles, a balanced approach is best. If you rely too much on one thing, like beauty, to open doors, you fail to be well-rounded and you may eventually lose your equilibrium. And if you lose that one quality, you have no paddle at all. This is inspiration to develop multiple tools to navigate your world.

Some of us may be moving along paths that are like rushing rivers; others may be on a large, still lake. We have all felt, at one time or another, tossed about on a stormy ocean. Through all this, we are never really alone, even though it might seem that way. There is inspiration all around us in the form of other people making their way through the world, in the very same boat. Remember to look around you for role models, companionship, and encouragement.

AMEN! ✨✨

@kittengirl,

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I hope there is good news on your BIL. 🌹
Lady last night was something else. I was at the Dentist when things started
up I was not going to cancel my dental appt. because they would not have another
opening until March or April. The Dentist said I have a great mouth my teeth and gums
looked really good. 😎😘✨ I moved really fast because I could see the leaves through
his windows in the Dental Office. I made it home safety.

Our neighbors Cat was out in all this weather I happened to be watching the lightning
and Charlie the cat came to our door he made his way into my house and sat on the couch.
I love Charlie and he is my friend I wrote his parents that he was safe and sound in our home.😘
I was trying to get another cat to come in I really want this cat so I feed him but he would not
come in. I so worried all night about him he has been coming around for about two months.
Hubby and I are trying to get him to trust us and come in. This cat is a beautiful black cat with
green eyes almost like the one our daughter rescued.

Well Game night wish us luck and best of luck with your teams. ✨😘 Have a good time
with your mother and sister. 😎🌹

@71flowerchild,

Howdy good friend in Texas make the most of the season. ✨😎

Happy Holidays to you and the fur babies. 😘😎

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and I know you are proud of your son graduating from
College I was very proud of our son just a couple of years ago who graduated from College.

Glad you took precautions and did a little social distancing when you were out. ✨

Taci all your son hard work paid off I know you are so relieved. This is major and to do
it in a Pandemic and work also is something he can take pride in. 😘✨

May you and your family stay safe and you are blessed. 😘

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the gulf coast. ✨✨Oz had storms and everything is fine now.
We did have casualties.

We do have a safe place which is better than nothing all we had were debris from the
trees and I have been going back and forth all morning putting them in a pile and tying
some twine around them it should all be gone by this afternoon. 😎

Here is a little tea and I am so glad your kitchen counter top is looking good and everything
can fit. YAY! ✨✨

@xango,

Buon Natale e Felice Anno Nuovo in sunny Florida. 😘✨ Oz got hit hard last night.
I had tree branches and debris all over the yards and I had other things too.

No major damages so that is good. We had over 100,000 people without power.
This was a major storm and I thank god it is over. 🌹💕

defg,

Good afternoon in Maryland how are you doing? How is the family doing? OZ got hit
last night I have been going back and forth picking up tree debris it was all over the
backyard and the front too. No damage I am lucky because the City is picking up lawn
and leaf and the limbs if you tie them together. 😎

The storm was nerve wrecking but we were in a safe place.

Praying for you and your family. ✨

@ddshoppy,
