A Jolt

You know how sometimes you just get joulted to realty? That not everything is good and happy. We live in a very imperfect world. I was thinking today that it was such a great day--beautiful warm weather, green grass and colorful flowers coming up, a half day of school, my friend Nikki visiting, my good friend Mindy getting married tomarrow, etc.
Then during the afternoon I come to find out that a family is living in a man hole right outside the school. I couldn't even imagine this kind of a living. They are a beautiful family who are thankful to have a place to go to at night. It's just mind boggling to think that here I am with so many things and an apartment all to myself, and here's this family who's living in a hole in the ground. So many times I complain about this or that and they chose to be thankful to have this little spot to call their own for the moment. WoW! Who am I?
This is a commom thing. I hear of it often, but this is the first that I have seen it. It is a jult to be sure. Lord help to not ignore and push aside but to remember and act.

The Amazing Race

Okay, for anyone out there who doesn't know me---I love the Amazing Race. I've been a fane from the beginning. I really like the concept of traveling around to different countries and having to do different things in each place. Forget the money--I would do it just to do it. I would really like to just travel, see new places, do new things, and meet new people. I think I would be scaried to make a fool of myself or more importantly, God. You get tired, stressed, rushed, etc. and things happen and I think I would be able to handle them well. But sometimes you just don't know until your there. The important thing in it is to have fun and totally enjoy the people, the scenery, and the adventure of it all. So, if anyone's interested in partnering up to do it--let me know okay? :)

Festivals!

I was talking to some friends last night about things we missed from the States. I would have to say one thing I miss is Festivals! I know it's so wierd. I didn't go to that many when I lived there, but not having any around to go to makes me miss them. There are a few here, but not as many and not quite like in the Sates. I really like festivals and their are so many to choose from.....Fruit Festivals(Peach Festival), Music Festivals, Animal Festivals(We have the Chicken Festival in Delaware), Machine Festivals(Tracker Shows, etc.), etc., etc. You don't even have to be interested in that thing---like I don't like Tractors---to fully enjoy the Festival. There's always the flea market, arts & crafts, side shows, food, games part of it to enjoy. I love going to them with some friends and just meandering around and seeing what's there. You never know what you're going to find or who you're going to run into. So, next time I'm in the States, Festivals here I come! Anyone want to join? :)
