THE KALEIDOSCOPE OF MY LIFE.

This week is really scooting along, Thursday already. remember when you were a kid in school and it seemed like Monday until Friday went on forever. As I have written before the days seem to go at a speed that is unreal. Where did the days go? How did Monday become Thursday. Age of course is the answer, the older I get the faster they go. Oh yes its raining out this morning. It looks like we may have a dark, dreary day.

When you were young do you remember having a Kaleidoscope? You know one of those toys that was a tube, with colored glass and when you turned the tube, the colors and patterns kept changing. I had one as a kid. Both of my kids had them too. Even as a adult I loved to turn the tube. My eye to the center, watching as the colors smoothly turned a different pattern, different colors. All with only a bare turn and everything was changed.

Thats sort of how life is I think, but you don't even have to turn a tube. It just keeps changing, sometimes smoothly, sometimes not so smooth. But change life does, so instantly its scary. The sickness that fell on Mikayla last July was a prime example of how life can be in your control one minute, out of your control the next. But wait a minute, maybe we are never really in control. We just sometimes think we are.

My life seems to be like that Kaleidoscope. But something or somebody has the tube of my life and just keeps turning and turning. As the different colors and changes keep my head spinning. I want to holler stop, lay it down. I'm getting dizzy. Now sometimes change can be good, then sometimes not so good. I am at a place in my life I want the scope to stay in one place. I don't want people I love to go far away. I don't want people I love to be sick or have problems. I want my kaleidoscope set on one pattern and then I want whoever is in control or is messing with it to leave it the heck alone. Just pick me some pretty colors, a interesting pattern. Then gently lay it down and let it be.

This is what I would like please. My plea goes out to whoever or whatever is turning my scope. I am older. There are days I am weary. So don't when you get bored pick up my scope and start turning the heck out of it. Because this last year that's what I feel you are doing. I'm asking nice. Move on to somebody else's Kaleidoscope. And please leave mine alone. Okay?
