Fragging on Friday

It's Friday!

If you follow the wonderful Mrs. 4444's you know what that means.

I have decided to make it a time for me to compile bits and pieces of what is going on in my life and share it here. Kind of a way to say yes I am still alive and kicking, so here goes.

Last night turned out to be a bit of a wild night. I was all set to get this post together and posted to the blog when Lexi went into a really nasty asthma attack. One would think that with three asthmatic's in the house there would be a rescue inhaler in every room, but nope. As a matter of fact all three inhalers were empty! Thankfully we do have a nebulizer, but when that didn't seem to be helping I made a call into 911. It was a very tense ten minutes before they arrived and were rushing her to the ER. After another neb treatment and steroids to open up her airways Lexi was breathing much better and released to come home.

It happened! 

The contestant that I was hoping would win the voice won! If you haven't heard Sawyer Fredericks sing check out this video of his first official original song.

Bit by bit my creativity is coming back and I have even managed to take advantage of the occasional nice day here and there to capture a bit of the scenery around me and even enjoy a nice lunch downtown.

The old Fairmont Creamery building on main street in down town rapid has a nice little sandwich shop on the lower lever and a cool record store on the main level. That is where I snapped the idea and photo for this next image.

Wishing all a safe Memorial Day weekend!

Entwining Journeys

For every existence within the universe there is a unique and separate journey to be traveled. Millions of journeys all intertwining and yet independent, be it human, creature, or the earth itself. While we travel our own unique journey we are never alone in that journey. We often benefit and hopefully learn from the experiences of those that journey around us or have journeyed  before us.

The ladybug for example has a very short journey and yet it is a very important one. Their life journey takes them a mere four to eight weeks and yet in that time they travel over what for them must seem very difficult terrain in conditions that are not always comfortable. Their journey may not seem important to them or maybe even to many of us but it is, for without them our gardens would become over run with aphids and other bugs that harm the very plants we wish to grow.

" I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that?" 

~ Soledad O'Brien ~

 

"Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey."

~ Tad Williams ~

"Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life."

~ Eleanor Roosevelt ~

While there are many quotes on life's journey by many influential people I consider these bits of insight to be most beneficial no matter where our journey is taking us at any particular moment.

I would love to hear your insight on life's journey, be they philosophical or humorous. Just post them in the comment section below. Most of all though may you be blessed along your journey!

Weekly Quote

I had this all ready to go for Thoughts on Tuesday, and well let's just say I ran into technical difficulties ... seams yesterday wasn't Monday after all. So here are Tuesdays Thoughts on Wednesday... LOL

Now being as it is actually Wednesday and the day Claudya at Unknown Mami has set aside recognizing the abundance of the universe and making our wishes known, I too shall make a wish.

My wish is to incorporate the above quote more fully into my life. In the past few years so much of what is happening in my life has been out of my control that it has become harder to tell what is within my power and what is not. So Oh Abundant Universe open my mind that I might make the best use of that which is within my power.

I also wish each and everyone one of my readers a very happy day and the abundance of the Universe!
