Signs

You know that song that goes, "Signs, signs, everywhere are signs..." I can't remember the rest of it, but I was thinking how nice life would be if it came with warning signs. A few days ago my life sign would have read, "Enter Day At Own Risk." Or maybe something like, "For Best Results, Pull Covers Over Head" or "Caution: Stress Ahead." Yup, there's nothing like being stranded in a parking lot with a dead vehicle and four tired children, waiting for the tow truck. And then finding out that there's no courtesy vehicle and rental prices are through the roof. LOL!

And then there are signs of aging. My biggest one was a fascination with anti-aging creams. I used to see those commercials and think, what a bunch of blarney. Who would fall for such a cheap gimmick? Uh, me, I guess. I just went out and bought an arsenal of firming creams guaranteed to smooth out those dimpled areas...in three weeks or less. :-) Sucker.

So, if your life was a billboard, what would it say? Anyone brave enough to share? Has anyone else found themselves caught in the spell of impulse buying? What was your latest impulse? I impulse shop with books. There are 21 in my TBR pile, I have 6 on order and I've been eyeing a few at the local bookstore. Yeah, it's an addiction. LOL!

*WARNING* CHANGE UP AHEAD!!

Don't you ever wish that life came with warning signs? Big, flashing neon signs that warned there was change up ahead? Something to prepare you for the curve in the road?

I am having such a moment. I feel like I've been pushed off the proverbial cliff and into a free fall of change. And I'm not liking it. Some might say that there are always signs, that when you look back you can see the writing on the wall. Well, let me tell you, there was no writing. No hyroglyphics, no cave drawings, nothing! Just a firm shove and then the shock of realizing that things will never be the same.
You've heard the saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I'm waiting to see if that's true! LOL! But what I do know is that the Potter wants to continually be molding and shaping each of us. I guess that means that I have to be willing to be squeezed, squashed and sometimes pounded if I want to be the jar or vase or bowl of His making. And the great thing is I don't have to be the flashiest, most expensive clay to be used. I just have to be willing!
