OK, so we didn't quite skirt the storm unscathed. Son got in an accident this afternoon. He's fine but his little red car isn't, but it's drivable, just pretty caved in..lol. It's still pretty treacherous out there.
Let's see, in one week..son chopped finger with axe, worst ice storm in 30 yrs. son wrecked car, had to put dog down, grandson tripped over freon line to a/c and spewed it in to the ozone..yeesh!
I dunno who's the deserving one of all this bad energy but it can move on anytime now..lol

I think Alanon has made me almost too passive cuz hey, this will all pass too right? It's all just stuff. Son seems very puzzled by my calmness...lol We're still all OK and it really is beautiful outside.
Here's some pics I took this morning.

Well I'd like to say that the pictures were great, but when I clicked on the link I came up with entirely different pictures! I then retried it and got an entirely new set! Hmmm... gremlins? or Kari's fingers?


You have had an adventure this past week!  Hope son's finger is okay and glad he escaped unscathed from the accident.  Bummer about the car though.  Those are the kind of weeks when I should have just stayed in bed.   


When things hit me like this, I just have to laugh because why cry about it? Life goes on and we get better.  Now go crawl into bed with your Moose jammies (I'd pay big money to have a picture of that! ) and enjoy the snow.


Love and blessings to you and your family.  Please be safe!


Live strong,


Karilynn, Hubby & Pipers Kitty

LOL Christy!!!!


I too was thinking at how calm I have become.  It's amazing that I am the person that got so mad 2 years ago when my A called me a name that I threw the phone at him and went to jail!!!! Now it's so comforting to be so calm.  I just can't get myself so worked up about the things I can't control.  I accept them and tell myself, there is a reason for everything and I can handle that. 


Hugs Mary

One of the most powerful statements in one of my favorite books, says:


"It came to pass."


As a boy I always saw that as an old way of saying, "and then this happened." As an older and just a little wiser fella, I see the power of that statement. It came, to pass. I was so deeply reminded of that in your description. Your courage, your resolve, your growth and awareness, gives you the wisdom to see through the myriad of happenstance and remain calm. My minister calls such events: "hyperactive manifestations" Nobody's just deserve, nobody's karma from this life or before, nobody's justice, just hyperactive manifestations.


Your calm in the face of strife is impressive. I see faith as "feeling that all is well in the face of the appearances that all is not well." That takes incredible focus, spiritual focus.  Your sharing of experiences always uplifts me. Thank you for your story and the beautiful pictures.


love, mac
