Laine's Blog, Thinking Out Loud

An Interesting Bumper Sticker...

 

This was spotted on my way home from the beach yesterday evening...

 

My life is better than your vacation.

 

So, assuming a lot, like if any of that is true,

would you be the "My" in that sentence, or the "Your"?

Maybe a little bit of both, I hope!

 

 

 

 

 

The Thing Is...

 

The thing about evacuating ahead of a powerful, deadly storm, that may or may not be a direct hit on your world, is that you say

"goodbye" to your life, your things and your home,

not knowing what you will find when you return.

 

Here in St. Augustine, most of us have been lucky -

loss of power means everything in the refrigerator and freezer must be thrown away.

Tons of debris from the trees and the mighty winds that must be cleaned up.

Days of work lost.

Lucky to be sure.

Some have lost all.

It puts things into perspective, though, saying goodbye to your physical world.

You know first hand what is really important in your world,

and it can be summed up in one word-

LOVE.

 

We are lucky, those of us who can feel the love,

lucky indeed.
