It's true you never know

This last week has been just unbelievablr.  Friends went out of town for a funeral of a friend. She called me that afternoon following the funeral and said she had been feeling very bad all day so she went to the emergency room due to the pain and after checking it was decided she had to have her appendix taken out. It was perfurated, and so she was full of infection.  Later that afternoon the minister at our church called and said one of our members in the nursing home passed away and his funeral would be Saturday.  The next day as we were starting our ladies meeting at church the minister called and told us my good friends husband had just passed away. He had been put in hospis just the day before.
It really makes you take a moment and think how true it is that you never know when it will be your time.  For isntance all of those people who died during hurricane Sandy.  One minute watching the water rising and the next being swept away and gone.   Scary isn't it.  People get ready there's a train a coming.  Don't need no ticket you just get on board.

Good news I get to brag a little.   Our granddaughter who will be 12 next week was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society Friday.  Wish I could have been there, but I am planning on going there in Dec. to see her in a play at school.  She is following in her Daddy's footsteps and joined the drama club at school.  She has been teased a lot about being a drama queen through the years so I guess she figures she might as well live up to her nickname  This is our Hannah Lou. Not a very good picture kind of fuzzy, As you can tell we aren't the best picture takers.

Are you going to vote?  I hope so it's really the thing to do.  I used to say I was too busy and besides I didn't know who to vote for. Now after getting calls all day and all evening long for the last few monthe I have decided to vote just so I can try to help make sure it's over and my phone will stop ringing,.  I am not one to try and influence others as to who to vote for since I don't watch the debates but a few mintues each time before I get bored, but I have been listening about the healthcare proposal quite a bit and in my opinion even though it will take effect I think we should somehow get rid of it.  The less the government has to do with my life the better.
I will ger off my soap box now. 

I think I will run for office someday.  My platform will be that we need to laugh more..  THis last week I noticed how few times people laugh really laugh.  My slogans are all ready known for the most part. Laughter is the best medicine. laugh and the world laughs with you. I could have laughed all night, sorry that's danced all night. Of course most of the situations I have been in lately weren't a whole lot of laughs., AND SO we need to have put more fun in our lives.  Tomorrow when you sit down to breakfast or lunch look around and laugh. a huge laugh..  I'll bet others will join in very shortly.  Of course they will have a perplexed look on their faces and if you are in a restaurant you might get asked to leave if someone thinks you are making fun of them but I doubt it. If you are in a restuarant I would suggest that you take inventory of those around you and try not to be close to grouchies.or someone who looks like he or she maybe carrrying a weapon.  zThey tend to have short fuses..
Just a thought when you vote try to remember if your candidate has a nice smile..If not move on to the next one.    

Church tomorrow.  Time to thank him for all you have.  He takes time for you and imagine how busy he must be so doesn't he deserve the same respect and attention> And you get to sleep and extra hour so you will have plenty of time. to get there.  See you there.Sass
