Well I was visited last night and I think they borrowed the cover over my patio table with no intention of returning it.. At least they waited until I had it totally water proofed so I could sit outside this winter...And they accomplished it very late while everyone was sleeping and my PO next door was on duty.. Guess I can smile because right now all table umberallas are on sale and the weather is nice so I can buy another one and water proof it..

Smile people it makes days shorter and better for everyone..

Wishing Everyone a safe weekend... There are days when it seems smiles are hard to find especially when you know a loved one is facing hard choices.. That seems to be true for me today yet I have to Smile and pray nobody has to walk the same road... A futile pray for sure because as I have lived I know many walk the same path.. Making the choice of whats right and loving someone..Protecting a young innocent from the wrongs of adults before it is old enough to think their actions are acceptable. Life is not simple or easy but I have to believe God placed it on my plate and he will get me through it... and with that thought I can smile.. Hopefully everyone can wear a smile today and in the following days..{yes this is my vent today because I am safe here}

Survived the wind storm, had a business building that had it's roof totally collapsing bringing down a power line.. Lots of trees laid down on the roads but it seems everyone is safe and unharmed.. So I can Smile.. Then I woke to find a Family Member and Veteran has moved on to a better place very Peacefully.. So yes there are no tears just beautiful Memories to carry with me.. So yes I can Smile.. Because I never know what burdens another lives with I refuse to be anything but positive today...
Depression, anxiety, fear of the unknown takes it's toll on so many so I hope each and everyone of us Share Smiles, Show Compassion and Caring Kindnesses to Everyone and Everything today and everyday.

No negative here but I did have one in my home who was highly allergic to spider bites and instead of killing them I other non harming methods to keep the 2 apart... Now instead I watch them and yes one has now encased a fly in her web and is working on a second one..
Thanks for again sharing your wisdom

It is truly interesting with Spider...many Native stories about her being a grand mother, and yes, my point in my analogy was that she can inspire that bit of trepidation or fear for those who do not really know her.
Her body is like the figure 8...having no beginning nor end, a constant from body to head and back again, just as our life takes us from the physical to the spiritual and back again and when we take the time to gather ourselves at the point of intersection of spirit and body, then we are balanced.
I did not intend to give the impression of anything negative about Grandmother spider by the way...just the way so many react to her.
With her web, she weaves with great effort to build her world and as she builds, so she lives which teaches us that the life we live is what we ourselves have built with our decisions and perceptions. Her life/home is one of order and when something comes into contact with it she feels the vibration and knows if it is something good or not, and we have that same opportunity. Amazing that other things will stick to her web but she does not and it is understood that the straight lines in her web are not sticky yet the circular ones are ... so she teaches us that if there is a vibration in our web of life to go straight to the situation and not run in circles (of gossip or conjecture) and get 'stuck' in the web of life that can hold us back from our goal. Go to the source and solve the situation. She can leave her web on a single strand and dangle in the wind in a comical way at times thus teaching us to laugh at our own selves and yet she does eventually land where she had planned and reminds us to have the patience to do the same. She is not in a hurry....but we seem to live by a ticking clock. She has eight legs, twice the sacred number of four and teaches us to use our legs to walk in balance with the four directions just as she does....don't trample...walk with care. She does not destroy all that she touches, but rather when things come into her web she will often wrap it up for later use and reminds us to think ahead...prepare for the days ahead just as the Native People prepared for the seasons of change. She can climb the most difficult walls and teaches us that we too can reach our goal no matter how steep the mountain may seem to be if we can 'stick' to our goal and not give up. When she sees a flaw in her web she moves to correct it and reminds us to do the same rather than say, oh well....I'll get to it later because later may never come. Spider can be found in high and low places reminding us that no mater the highs and lows that may come in our own life that like her, we can adjust and make do if only we try.
Yes...Spider can strike fear into some just as we can strike fear into others who do not see us smile. She is a grandmother so some and foe to others but that all depends on our own perception.
I hope this clears up any thing I may have posted to give a negative impression of her. She is part of our family.....yet so many have no real clue as to what makes a family member a family member.
