I was working on my FaceBook and I came across this gem. An eight year old got into the car with his mom and asked if he could throw his confetti. Mom says not in the car and asks why he has confetti anyway. “It’s my emergency confetti, I carry it in case there is good news.”

Yea, that’s the spirit, right? Be prepared, you never know when good news will strike! Could happen anywhere, any time. Good news breaking out, could get out of control. Carry your emergency confetti and keep it handy.

And there was good news recently for people vaccinated against Covid. The CDC says we can pretty much throw them away, those masks. I got a feeling that this many be awkward given certain situations and times. We will have to relearn the social dance steps.

Had a great Zoom with Wellness House, Chicago. They are are a support group for cancer patients and their caregivers. There were somewhere around sixty folks there for this showing and QandA. I always have fun at these. Who doesn’t like being the center of attention?

Today the emphasis here at the Ranch is on mowing. My belt finally came in yesterday and I got things greased, assembled and adjusted. Friday is sometimes a day off for Wiley and he is out cutting grass right now, I can hear him. And when he gets tired I be riding til we get caught up. Life on the Ranch in the Spring.

Yup, good to be with you again.

are there emergency loves, Felipé.

  1. Zoom is all well and good but do you have real life face to face cancer groups on Vashon Island, I’ll have to look up what it’s population is,or would you have to go into Seattle?as the lockdowns ease these groups should start up again but obviously it depends on how this Indian strain goes which is causing havock in India over 4000 dead a day.

    1. Kevan ~ yea, have done lots of them in person. It is just another way to get in touch with people. And way less expensive than traveling. I just did one in Denmark via Zoom. But it is what I do right now. Felipé.

  2. I keep a bottle of champagne in the frig for such occasions of spontaneous celebration. The confetti is an awesome idea, more mobile and less calories…;)

  3. I feel that we all could benefit from turning up the sensitivity on our good-news detector so that we consume more emergency confetti thus encouraging others who see it.
    There is good news all around us, just look at buds on trees and a few days later there are flowers, then bees on the flowers, then fruit and finally honey from all that work.
    Joy for the eyes, nose, taste buds and touch. That is good news!

  4. I love that illustration! Looking for the miracles and being ready to celebrate!
