Zapped!!!!

Two days ago I was without electricity for 5 or 6 hours. There are two lines into the house and one was totally out and the other on 1/2 power. They always tell you to unplug appliances so they won’t be damaged by a surge when the electricity comes on. The fridge was on 1/2 power so had some current coming in. It is plugged in behind a little cupboard I had built to hold bread so critters can’t get into it and when I reached back and unplugged it, I heard a pop and a big pain shot through my hand. Yolanda was there and came running over asking what was wrong.. I said I must have come in contact with a live charge when I unplugged the fridge but when I looked back to see if it was completely unplugged, guess what I saw?

I’ll tell you after at least 5 people guess!!!!

Okay, 5 people guessed, so you can find the answer HERE.

Puzzled

Life is an exquisite puzzle whose pieces do not fit
each and every time that we seek to conquer it.
Its pieces are not shaped ahead. We form them as we go.
No solutions irrefutable. We grow them as we grow.
Caprice may may make life difficult—impossible to match
the present situation to pieces in the batch
cut out when life was scheduled, predictable and set
to lead in a direction where we will never get.
Life is wild and errant. It goes not where we lead.
We think that it’s the flower, but sometimes it’s just seed
that’s sewn in rocky soil that does not heed its growth.
Good fortune and adversity? We need to fit them both
into the picture of our lives. Each has its unique power
to turn what looks impossible into a thriving flower.

My guiding words today were caprice, irrefutable, errant, exquisite and puzzle.
