Hurricane coming!!!!!
Permalink  

I always get excited when a hurricane is coming.
I think this is part of my drama/chaos addiction.
I can feel the thrill of excitement in the air as it closes in, no fear just anticipation.  I know that's kinda silly considering the destruction and danger that comes with them, but I can't help myself.

So my life used to be frequent chaos and now it's the rare hurricane, I guess this is progress?  Not to mention this time it's HP dishing out the chaos and not the A.  AND I can see the hurricane coming and prepare, with the A I was always blindsided.  And this chaos I KNOW I CAN'T CONTROL or FIX!!!

Nope, you can't control or fix it, but the analogy is still a good one....

Similar to living around addiction, you CAN take appropriate measures of education and information gathering (Al-Anon), take appropriate safety measures for you and your dependants, and/or choose not to participate (i.e. evacuation).

Interesting.....

To me, nature's powerful storms are the ultimate reminder of Divine power...

You have great awareness, seeing that you like the drama. I admit, that I do too sometimes.

Be safe ((((CG))))

I don't know that I am addicted to chaos and drama. I think I am used to it, it feels familiar like home. Now I tend to stay away from it but its been a big learning curve for me.

(((((CarolinaGirl)))),

Good analogy.  I've always loved watching storms come in.  Somehow the world seems sweeter after a storm be it snow, rain or wind.  We are expecting the remanants of Gustav tomorrow.  I love a good rainy day.  Piper of course, will be out playing in the rain! lol  I remember once when I was out visiting a friend in Tucson.  A monsoon came through with all the lightening.  It was sooo cool.  I'm out in the yard amazed at the wonder of it all.  My friends thought I was nuts.  I decided to finally come in when the lightening struck a cactus just over the fence.  But then watching a saguaro cactus burn was pretty cool too.  Sigh.... I'm hopeless.  Have a great time, but be careful and stay safe.  Love and blessings to you and your family.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty aww
