Laughter is the best Medicine was a coined phrase years ago, but man do we need laughter more than ever now. I am not sure if I am the only one that feels this way but I think that world has gone absolutely MAD! I have always been of the belief (wrong or right makes no difference) that the world essentially stays at a consistent level of fluctuating peaks and valleys of CRAZY. That most of the pseudo increases in violence is due to our increased exposure to information from media and all the available communications; But now I am not so sure.
Sorry for this bit of heavy commentary above but it has been a very sad year for a lot of people and this last shooting at LAX was enough to make me go Hmmmm?!! But if you don't laugh you cry and really all we can do is try to live the best lives we can, stay in faith, Pray and not despair. This can be a hard thing to do when every time you turn on the TV the breaking news is death and storms. So if you have faith and are someone who prays, please take a second to pray for our country and for mankind in general.....
..... Now no more heavy stuff, we have cast our cares on the Lord and through him we have peace.
Proverbs 17:22 "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones."
Let's enjoy the gift of laughter he has given us:

Sundays are free again to help me pump myself and you up for the our upcoming week. While I feel that Sundays are time for reflection and contemplation it has also always been a day for Sunday Comics! And I think that the newspapers had it right. What better way is there to forget the previous week's woes and start the new week with a smile? So with this tradition in mind I would like to have a Linky Party that focuses on the lighter, funnier side of life.

Having grown up it in the country I was blessed to have had exposure things that people only see in pictures and on television. I would take for granted that everyone knew where their food came from (aside from the store) or seen a eagle launching from the bluffs behind my house. I would spend many nights looking for the little and big dipper; exploring the night sky and the mysteries it held.

Since moving to the city; I forget what it was like to be in the complete darkness and to be able to make out clearly the stars, planets and even the aura around the moon. During my childhood it was common to be able to see the ghostly lights of an aurora borealis haunting the skies. While it wasn't colorful like the borealis near the poles it would cast an eerie glow of shifting white mist through the night sky and I can remember thinking how it look like giant spirits passing silently over head.

I was also the "falling star" expert growing up; for what ever reason I would always be the person that would catch the first glimpse of stars burning out or the small meteors streaking through the sky. While at times I was envious of the kids in the city I wouldn't have traded these once-in-a-lifetime experiences for anything. Just having the chance to see the night sky without all of the light pollution was well worth the sacrifices of the modern conveniences.
Unfortunately it seems that there are less and less areas that people can actually view the night sky like I had as a child. In fact the area where I grew up is now developed and no longer provides that clear connection to the heavens. The following video was an amazing reminder to me of how important it is to always bare in mind that everything we do as human beings leaves a footprint on mother earth. Even something as simple as turning on the light switch in our home changes our environment. I hope you take the time to watch this beautiful video showing one of the worlds most beautiful natural parks at night. Yosemite is one of America's treasures.
I may be slightly biased since this wonder is just a mere hour and a half away from where I live now. It is a must see and cannot be truly captured on video, television or pictures. I've spent many hours day dreaming over the pictures in Natural Geographic, but it wasn't until I visited Yosemite for myself that I realise their attempts to bring this amazing place to life with spreads and complexly colored images were no way close. There is nothing that could replace the sensation of standing next to the giant redwoods, the scent of pine, and the sounds of the forest while you dwell with trees that are over a thousand years old. They have no method of providing their viewers with the strange vertigo that you feel as you look out towards Glacier Point standing thousands of feet above sea level. My first visit to view the falls and the valley literally moved me to tears; I can honestly say I have never seen anything so amazing.
As beautiful as some pictures are, they are flat, unchanging images, that forever freeze one moment in time, making it easy for people to forget about protecting these amazing places. It is simple to dismiss the impact we have on our world when we only live by experiencing snap shots. Once people have actually experienced how awe inspiring our natural world is most become very passionate about preserving it. It can be disheartening to see how easily removed we can become from our own planet.
