THE ART OF CHANGE
May we be blessed to understand part of the art of life
(the part that helps to ground us)
is being able to adjust and readjust
to the changes all around us.
GNRT DAY 19 WHEN OUR TEEPEE BLEW AWAY
As part of planning this trip—-for one night we were set to reside
in a tiny house in Alberta, Canada…that came with a teepee on the side.
This tiny house had all the amenities we needed…much to our delight
while the teepee had the bed…where we’d sleep under the stars at night.
That was the plan at least….
until we received a text when we reached our Spokane destination
It was from the owner of the tiny house alerting us to a…’situation’.
Apparently Alberta where the tiny house sits, (this is something we didn’t know)
is subject to the strong Chinook winds which across this part of Canada blow.
The situation was…we learned that fateful day
the teepee which was to be our bedroom…in the night had blown away.
Which meant a last minute change of plans…
so to the internet and through the listing on Air B & B I plowed
and luckily found this little cabin on the prairie outside of Fort Macleod.
So we left the mountains behind us…stopping every now and then
to enjoy the country where the land, the hills, the valley together seemed to be flow
ending at this beautiful cabin on the prairie…where the Chinook winds still blow.
Protected in this beautiful little cabin…so comfortable and pleasing to the eye…
and it was here we watched the sunset on the prairie…and the stars light up the sky.
It turned out to be just what we needed…and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay…
making a memory we would never have made…
if our teepee hadn’t blown away.
PROM PHOTOS
Our granddaughter attended her high school Prom…
her photo was posted on-line
which led me on a hunt through our old photos
until I found one of me at mine.
As I gazed at these two photos
50 years apart…I quietly exclaimed
how parts of our world have changed dramatically
while others remain the same.
50 years ago social media and computers
were, to us, unknown
today we have access to the world
and can take pictures on our phone.
But as technologies and social media
readjust and rearrange
friendship, love and high school proms
are things that never change.
Take a look at these two photos
I’m sure you’ll see it too…
how even 50 years apart
we both look good in blue.
You may be wondering to yourself
which one of us wore it better…
no need to answer…God forbid!
Take another look…
it’s obvious who did!
