So, then, when it was time to buy a new one, I had reached the point in my schooling where my soul and will to live had been adequately crushed (also known as clinical rotations) to allow for “remolding” – or, eventually, being happy with minimal pay for hard, stressful, skilled labor.
When I was in vet school, I got a purple stethoscope – my favorite color! Unfortunately, my dog ate it.
I plan to bring some lighthearted humor to everyday annoying situations so that you, too, can laugh at my downfalls and tribulations.įor my first Blog, I think I want to tell you about my brown stethoscope. I enjoy making people laugh, some for attention (otherwise why would I have the nerve to start a blog), but mostly to bring some positive light to the world when all chaos seems to be going on in our everyday lives. The Rev.Hello, and thank you for coming to read my random thoughts! I have decided to start a blog page about myself, my life, and random observations about the world in an attempt to give hope, inspire, but mostly make you laugh.
#I M GOING TO LET IT SHINE FREE#
Now’s the right time to free them up, maybe consider singing to yourself, “This Little Light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine!” Come on, take a chance. I invite you to close your eyes just a second and imagine your inner lights of Power and Love growing stronger, chafing at the bit to be untethered. We may forget for a moment we have a spiritual light within our consciousness.
Bush called us, shining life’s joy, peace and beauty around us. We don’t always see ourselves as points of light, as President George H.W. Those times we find ourselves transformed into an ill-tempered child when rain spoils our parade, a time of darkness/ignorance. And I wonder if this is what it’s like when people feel lost or separated from Light, one of the gifts of Life. I don’t know what made me think of all this, maybe Easter stirred up these thoughts. It wasn’t nearly that bad during last winter’s PG&E power outages. Without it, no power could reach any point in that vast region. I don’t remember all the details but I read it caused 80,000 square miles along the U.S.-Canadian border to be plunged into darkness.Īll the electrical power for that entire region passed through that one single fuse. And though the word “electricity” doesn’t have the same appeal as the word “light”, I appreciate it when it’s “on”.Ī number of years ago, Time magazine carried an article about the failure of an electrical fuse that was about the size of a bread box. I don’t know who came up with the idea of putting a battery in a small hand-held devise, but what a great notion it was. On the other hand, light shining from a simple hand-held flashlight in time of need can be of great service. And down through the ages light has been painted, written about in poetry, expressed in ways that demonstrate “putting light” on a subject, revelation, a new dawn of understanding. Experiencing failure, he never learned it was an idea put into motion before well thought-out plans were considered. Coyote displayed a flashing bulb indicating a solution to getting the better of the Road Runner. Light bulbs in cartoon strips have long been used as symbols for new ideas or a solution to a problem.
