Have You Ever Noticed?

 Some things never fail. For instance...

A fly is buzzing around. It lands on you. It lands on the table in front of you. You wave it away and it comes right back. Then you grab the fly swatter and wait for it to land on a good place to swat it. THE FLY DISAPPEARS! It only returns when you put down the swatter.

Or...

You have been feeling ill for a couple of days. Your stomach is upset, your head hurts, and you have a slight fever. So you go to the doctor. You sit in the waiting room feeling miserable. You are finally called in to see the doctor. Suddenly you feel fine. No headache. No upset stomach. Your fever has disappeared. The doctor looks at you like you are a hypochondriac. Of course all the symptoms return when you get home.

You have been putting off washing the car. It is so dirty. Finally you force yourself to get out the hose. soap, and soft cloths. When you are finished the car looks so shiny and clean. You feel proud and go inside for a cold drink and to let the car completely dry. When you go out again you are on your way to the store with a shiny clean car. There you see that birds have attacked your car leaving droppings all over it.

Or...

You are extremely late for an appointment. You rush out of the house. As you hurry to try to be even close to on time you suddenly have to go to the bathroom... now.

Or...

You love the smell of clean sheets dried in the sun with a nice breeze. You hang them on the line and go in to put your feet up. After a short nap you awaken to find that it rained and your sheets are now soaking wet.

Or... 

You pick up debris from your yard so you can mow the grass. You spend a large part of the morning pushing the lawn mower. Your lawn looks wonderful and so clean. In the afternoon a huge wind rises. When you look again at your manicured lawn it is once again covered with twigs and trash from who knows where.


Did you ever know it to fail?

  4. Or you spend days cleaning for a party, or a visitor. When it's over, you have a dirty house once again.

    1. In the Detroit area there is so much petroleum waste in the air that the dust is full of petroleum waste. You do not dust, you wash. Now I am fighting dust as you are.

  6. i have noticed them all dear Emma and i went after it to enquire about it ,after harmonizing studies ,observations and experiences i realized life is not as simple as it looks at first sight or looks to one who see it with plain mentality ,our everyday life seems to effect by such mysterious incidents that lead us to different outcome depending on our different mindsets we all have .this is serious matter not a joke at all.
    very nice sharing my friend ! hope all is fine with your life and health specially! hugs and blessings!
