"It" happens when you least expect it!

Food - Here's looking at you kid! Yummy, so full of frosting. This is another scrumptious treat from Valli Produce in Rockford, IL.

Dish - LOVE - Why does it happen to you when you least expect it? Does the mere act of looking for it, drive it away? Have you heard the poem: "

Love is like a butterfly, the more you chase it,

the more it will elude you, but if you ignore it,

it will softly come and sit on your shoulder.

Proving the theory that: "You'll find love when you least expect it."

And this theory applies to many things in life; not just love. Some things happen when you least expect it? It does? Yes, they do.

About a month or so ago, I was painting the interior of our home. We have a 2 story house, which means we also have a very high stair case - lucky me! Reach for the stars...well almost, I was reaching for the celling. It wasn't a glass ceiling, but I felt a lot like Hilary Clinton Jr., all the same. While Hilary was making history being the 'first" women to run for President Of The United States I was making history too (it's in the genes). I was the "first" female in our home to paint that high stair case of our home. Somehow, I don't think my "first" will make any history books though.

With the high stair case done, I move on to the rest of the Mona Lisa work that needs a fresh face. I had climbed the tall, tall, ladder many times recently. Up, down, up, done - nothing bad happened (and I even have a black cat.) I had to "jiggey-rig" a scaffolding system to reach parts of this HIGH stair case because I wasn't able to reach. This was not the safest thing to do, I admit, but I somehow felt safe with my McGuyvor skills - nothing bad happened.

So, I was taken by surprise when I was painting the bathroom that required only a normal size ladder and not much height was involved. "Just when I didn't expect it" it happened! I went to get down off the ladder "and missed a rung - I was straight tripping boo - I went flailing down to the ground hitting my head, face, and arm on the wall and then stopping myself from fully diving face first into the toilet by hitting my arm on the back of the toilet breaking the lid - ouch!

If they could see me now! Face full of paint from sliding down the "wet" wall; unable to move my arm because it hurt so bad I was sure I it was broken. I laughed, it was comical....I had to laugh or I would have cried.

Proving once again, "It happens when you least expect it!"

Embellish - Begin each day with thoughts that bring out the best in you.
