Thunder Played Games in the night

Thunder played the drums last night

and

the gentle rains of fall

fell here, the sounds played on the earth and down the gutters like a tapping, a lovely sound to be certain... as if in harmony with the thunder.

Good morning on this lovely fall morning

as I wait for the light to break and once again be amazed at the beauty that surrounds us.

It was quite remarkable how the light played on the Grand Canyon nearing sunset there; as if a wide brush was painting the canvas before our eyes.

The many layers and then we were honored to see the Eagles soared from below to above the rim

and back again, such incredible flight.

Right there for us and others to witness in addition to the sights and the lights changing by the

hands of the Universal Oneness/God/Creator/

that lives within us.

Last night Buddy Pal #1 sat on the sidelines as the Varsity Bobcats took the field... for the second week his knee has prevented him from playing football.

Now the big question will be ... surgery now or later.
The Bobcats lost their first game of the season last night... so sad.

So

we have Olivia our little warrior out for the soccer season in Maryland in her orange cast;

D'Vante in Southwest Virginia sitting in pain on the sidelines

and

Kamryn #10 on the little Bobcats, running and doing, making touchdowns and recovering fumbles and saying his prayers for Olivia and his big brother to be well!

And then we have COB (aka Mom, Auntie Dot)...

rumor has it she has backed her beautiful Murano into a tree after having a great lunch with friends... must have been one big tree as it took out the back window of her beloved vehicle :)

I heard of it by text... and all I know is the text also showed me a picture of a jazzy looking blue car that she is now driving as a rental??? {heehe}

Mom does have a "rep" about her backing up skills I will tell ya...
but I'm not saying a word, nope not me.

BUT

I did receive this from a reliable source who also says COB (aka MOM, Auntie Dot)
also dialed 911 this past week after cleaning a
hot light bulb that then exploded...

BUT

again, just a rumor...

and

that's all I have to say about that!!!
I also heard that our Chris from this page of Warriors, Breast Cancer Survivor is doing great with the exception that her computer blew up... therefore has no way to access this page... for now!
So, if you want to talk about her, this is your chance!

Exciting NEWS FLASH:
Lily the Black Bear and baby HOPE have dug a DEN... and we are hoping with all HOPE, that they both will soon decide to take up residence for a long nap... with close monitoring by Dr Rogers and Sue and soon a new live Cam to be installed so that 112+ million fans can watch 24/7 like last year in the likely event that Lily gives us more cubs to swoon, and worry and cry over in a few months!

And Lastly, dear sweet Kelly 2 Wolves at 2 Wolves Creations has started a beautiful etching in wood of HOPE and will be donating a percentage of the sales to the Wildlife Research Institute, and is going to make a beautiful memory feather for Lily's brother Cal the collared Black Bear who was Killed this month.

to see her work, it is stunning as is she.

So now that you know my news...

what's new with you?

I'll leave you with a few words from a gentleman who I saw and asked that I pass these words along:

He asked that I remind people of this:

"Tell em doc, I come and see you cos' I figure you and me, well we work well together, you are good for me, you help me keep my self tuned up. Sometimes you may not tell me what I want to hear, but you do tell me what I need... I mean, after all I spent 40k for my car, I get it detailed every two weeks, I paid more than I want to tell anyone for my house... I do the maintenance, and mow and do stuff for my family... and that costs money you know... to keep things running prime, and taking care of things.

So, the way I see it ... I deserve to keep me in top shape, and running to perfection, body, mind, spirit, and you  doc... you help me with that. My wife thinks so too... so the way I see it is ... everyone should have a therapist, an advisor, a spiritual person to come to on a regular basis, to help em stay tuned up... after all if you don't invest in yourself... well doc... you just got to invest and keep yourself held up you know, tell em doc!"

He said it; asked me to tell it, I've told it!

There you have it.

Have a blessed day, invest in YOU

wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

The fire is burning brightly today, with thoughts and prayers on the winds to all who enter here, for all who's names you see often here.

YOU know who you are...

STOMP

You are being held up today!
Remember, this is your day... it can never be more than what you are going to make it...
go and make it
YOURS !~
