a few moments of life shred through the eyes of a dear friend.

Turn on the fan in the car and Whoosh! out flies seed husks left over from little mice that had made the vent and housing their home.

This was a story shared with me from a friend driving a previously shared car across country to its new home.

I shared this story with another freind and her response was her brothers experience.  He was driving his truck, again with the fan, seed husks AND the mouse that had provided the surprise.  Can you imagine the reaction of trying to drive with a mouse running back and forth on the dashboard trying to get out!

Life always has surprises. How we deal with them makes life.

a few moments of life shred through the eyes of a dear friend.

Even though I’m a nurse, a trip to the hospital still brings unease to the heart. You don’t know what will happen, and let’s be honest, the fear of the unknown is always present, until I glanced up to the ceiling of my hospital room, I saw a happy face clown balloon smiling down at me. He has a gold face, multicolored hat, cute black eyes, the appropriate red nose and a special grin.

Every day it was great to see that happy face grinning down at me – made procedures a little easier. For two weeks I enjoyed having my friend,  Fred. To my pleasant surprise the day before I left the hospital, Fred had floated down to my bed. We were fated to be friends.

After being moved to rehab, I taped Fred to the wall beside my bed. That happy face helps my mind, body and soul heal. We all have to deal with trauma of all kinds but I wish for you a Fred. Amazing such an inanimate object can bring such joy.
