TENSION  ON  THE  TABLE 

He placed his glass of scotch – with ice – 

on the table top - on rich antique wood - and 

she -  the woman of the house -  spotted this 

from the other side of the room – and it stopped 

the flow in the conversation she was having. 

A loud inner scream erupted from within, “No! No!” 

And she sped across the room – picked up his 

glass and said, “We have better scotch than this. 

Let me get it for you.” She did and she napkin 

wiped the table top with an inner, “Phew!” 

Her husband noticed the whole scene, thinking 

“I wish I was an antique table and I got some of 

her attention to some of these details. Hey we’re 

only married 24 years. She’s no antique but let me 

tell you how I feel at times. Good thing I don’t drink.”

 “If you dam a river it stagnates.  Running water is beautiful water.”

KNOCK,  KNOCK, 

WHO’S  HERE?

Make a statement, 

leave an impression, 

make a memory, 

create, imagine …. 

Ooooooopppps,  

I walked into the

wrong room. 

These are not 

my kind of people. 

But I guess I had 

to walk in here 

to find this out. 

I’ve done this before. 

Deja vue. I’m slow.

Thought for  Today 

"We must never undervalue any person. The worker does not like it when their work is disliked in their presence. Well, God is present everywhere and every person is God's work."

I  NEED  TIME 

It takes time to “Go figure!” 

It takes time to figure out 

just what happened - and 

then it takes time to go figure - 

if what I gathered -  is close 

to what might have happened. 
Much of life is a maze! Amazing. 

Bummer! But it the long run 

it takes time to peel away 

layers - to knock down walls - 

while new walls are being built.

 UNDER  THE  HOOD

Stuck in traffic ….

Looking for a parking spot ….

Trying to get in or out of a parking lot

just before Christmas …. in a rush ....

These are the moments we see

what’s under another’s hood ….

Otherwise we really don’t know

another – their language or

their patience points ….
