"I know they are important movie people... but here they were at my kitchen table waiting for food they had just discovered" {Shirley Maclaine}
Happy Saturday thoughts to one and all! The chill still fills the air in sunny Florida this morning. No new heart stops with the four-leggeds falling in the pool.
Kamryn is A-OK say the cardiologist and for that we are filled with gratitude that the next Michael Jordon is shootin' the hoop and enjoying each day and running wild on most of them!
Lily and cubbie are doing quite well, her fan page is now over 80,000 and there are some wonderful shots of the little one that have been caught on film.
Kitchen table Insight has been a wonderful week of thoughts and memories not only for me, but for readers as well. Those who do not comment here have emailed with their thoughts about the blogs. The results have at times been painful for people, but quite positive. Allowing and triggering those kitchen table memories and experiences to flow once again in our minds and hearts, prompting phone calls to others out of the blue that sound like this:
"Hi, do you remember that year in 1963 when we all got together.... yes, what do you mean you don't remember, I was wearing red and Madras plaid and Mommie was cooking lasagna and then the curtains in the kitchen caught on fire, remember now???"
hahaha
Memories, conversations around the kitchen, in the kitchen ~ some bitter-sweet like dark chocolate (good for heart health), painful-loveliness...
It may be good to sit at that table again, even if alone and read a good book, ah... I have one in mind! I heard from a treasured heart who tells me that she has read Healing Heartaches 10, can you say {10} times!!! And no, I didn't pay her to do it, nor did I offer her free stuff to say it!
Oh, almost forgot, still no correct answers on why Mom is called COB.
And as we close these thoughts on kitchen table insight I hope you will remember to always keep what is worth keeping... and just like picking up sand on a beautiful white/pink sand beach, hold it in your hand, feel its warmth and then sift it in your hand. Keep what is worth keeping and let the rest go... go on, just let it go, it is not worth keeping bottled up, stuffed inside any longer if it does not serve you well.
NOW FOR A LITTLE KITCHEN TABLE AMAZING FACTS:
"I'll tell you I was sitting at the kitchen table and the only one I could tell it to was the three dogs" (Keith Selix)
Keith Selix is an 81 year old man living in Waterloo Iowa. His wife died in 2005 leaving him alone with his three dogs, and Keith has always been a man who loved playing the lottery! His wife used to scold him he said, telling him he was "wasting money on those cotton-picking lottery tickets". After Mrs. Selix's death it seems his luck remarkably has changed and now he has hit the lottery not once but THREE times since her death... so as he sat at the kitchen table on the third time, he was telling who? The dogs "look here, we've done it again and I had a better odds of being struck by lightning"!
True story, I did not make it up!!! Guess she figured he needed to make some house repairs since she was not there with him, or that since he was still playing she might as well help him to win! Angels have a way to watch over us ~
