The look...

You know the one

especially if you know the person well

It's the look 

that says a thousand words

the one with expressionless expression

the one that communicates both irritation and longing at the same time

the one that is both private and probing

the one that says without saying

you have just been an ass, or you are making an ass out of yourself 

so just stop

the one that is a warning sign 

stating

~

PRIVATE PROPERTY

and

NO TRESPASSING 

~

It is a statement

not

a request

~

and it is our responsibility

to respect it

especially with children

no matter how cute they are

The road less taken....

I don't know about you

but

the older I get

the easier it becomes to be thrown off balance by

the little things...

It all started when my computer started having 'issues'

then

my camera started having 'issues'

then

my sisters family had some serious 'issues' 

and 

my skydiving plans were canceled on Leap Day because of weather

so

I took a side road

a detour

away from everyone for a bit

just to get grounded

and although I am not all the way up to speed again

it has been good to at least check in with some of my favorite blogs

and 

to finally stop back by my own

Happy Friday everyone!
