Wow, Friday has come and that is good news. Let’s have a great day everyone. The weekend is just a little while away, hang on everyone.
A Bright Moon In A Clear Sky Full Of Stars
Last night the sky was clear and the moon was so bright it lit up the darkness. There is a cool beauty of the whole thing. Looking up in the sky to see moon in a sea of stars. Creation is awesome that way. It just seemed to make all the cares of the world go away if just for a moment. Think about how awesome it all is that we can see that majestic wonder just by looking up. Maybe there is something to be said about that.
Daily Prompt: Criticize
People do things to the best of their abilities and sometimes it isn’t good enough. No one likes to be criticized but it’s a part of life.

The Flu Bug, Impacting Life and Learning #flu
The flu bug has gotten bad where I live. So bad that schools have used some of their built-in snow days and cancelled classes so the children and staff can get better. Everyone loves a day off but this is not the way many wanted it to come about. Several people I work with were scrambling to find child care options for tomorrow as our local school system has also called off school for Friday. I got a flu shot in November. I can’t remember the last time I had it. Those who got the bug are sitting at home trying to get well.
Here’s a graphic that shows the difference between the common cold and the flu. Stay healthy my friends.
