Life is a Highway

Oh, yes I did....I went this route for the newspaper challenge for Somerset Life.  Yes, I know a stretch of the imagination, but they did ask us to do just that ;D   I went with road signs; I made them into soul signs.  Yes, Stop n' Smell the Roses...for one.  Here is a peek:



I am looking forward to getting back to a normal routine. I am behind in commenting, blogging and life. Today was one of those days, when you wonder if the moon is full and the Earth has tilted.  I spilled black paint on the floor, paper jam in printer, lost internet service, and dropped a bowl filled with tiny pearls on the floor.  You know one of those kind of days.... Then life gets a bit better and you finish the challenge and drive to the mail. Joy arrives, till your daughter asks if she can drive home, then reality whacks you side the head.  Oh, yeah, back to my world, back to the dishes, run home and pick up the scraps of paper all over the floor, table and computer. Then start supper/dinner, finish laundry, go find shot record, for daughter's school physical tomorrow, walk dog, clean up kitchen and go visit blogs!  Life returning to normal...nah!  Not in my world, it doesn't exist, besides it is over rated, haven't you heard. Wacky, weird and sometimes wonderful, is my journey!   How about you, how is your journey going?

See any soul signs?   And my daughter did really well driving; she is improving.  My horoscope might be a soul sign. This was the end of mine for this week. Here you can peek at yours.

"As much as I love beginner's mind, though, I advocate an additional discipline: cultivating a beginner's heart. That means approaching every encounter imbued with a freshly invoked wave of love that is as pure as if you're feeling it for the first time".

Ah, another wonderful day of experiences.
You know you wouldn't change a thing.
Okay, maybe the black paint and the paper jam :o)

Smiles and hugs to you! I believe it's the Mercury in Retrograde affecting everyone. I've had a tough 48 hours.

Hi Scarlett-I can't wait to see what you came up with. I don't think what I made probably fits SLife's profile, but Thank you! Sorry to here that; I hope tomorrow is better~ Today was my crammed day. I ran from home to school to Dr, back to school, back to Dr. then drove to another state. I think I need to drive for a living ;D
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and the next three days are busy and fun~xXx No one is in school, yet. Color Guard practice, Dr appts for both my daughter and me. That wonky kind of day~

Vicki-Thank you; yes you could say I took a different spin ;D

Hart-Thank you; I thought it would remind others to take a daily break ;D Yes, beginner's heart would be a wonderful way to live! I love some of these horoscopes, quite an interesting view~

Sherry-Help yourself ;D I think we all could use a fresh start, at some point in time. It is a lovely concept~

Abby-Thank you; damn I forgot the glue hadn't dried when I snapped the pic. Oh, well...it had to leave my house and I had to snap picks. Sometimes I don't and regret it.
Yes, let's cross fingers and toes something magical happens~xXx
