What Will The Next Wave Be?

AS I DROVE ACROSS THE PRAIRIE on my way to the Pharmacy I had to take a deep breath while looking at the powder blue skies that only had a few puffs of white and grey clouds.   What a beautiful day it was with temps in the 70s.  No threat in the sky for stormy weather.  The sky reminds me of how it looks on a hot summer day praying for rain to cool the ground.

PINCH ME so I know I'm awake and not dreaming how pretty the Prairie landscape is.  This time of year is one of my favorites as the trees are covered with many shades of green.  Flowers are blooming and bushes are loaded with colorful blossoms that will more then likely fade into more green.

Often I drive by our old place to see the flowers taking turns blooming in the front flowerbed and around some of the trees.  Today my heart did not ache because I no longer live there.  I was able to not hurt.  PROGRESS has taken place.  This SPRING is the one that has allowed me to move forward in LIFE and not be stuck grieving our loss of the house to fire.  The fact that we are still alive blesses my soul.

I have walked through the rock house a few times and the interior floorpan isn't what it use to be.  The man that is rebuilding this place is a visionary and has a plan in how the house will look after crews work the place over.  I'm not sure that when they have an open house that I will be able to walk through the house again.  I think by then I will have to admit defeat and cannot tour the finished product.  I have my pictures and memories to remember the house the way it was.  My Husband and I worked on the house for ten years.  

We've had so much rain lately, this type of clear atmosphere is a welcome change.  Next week it may be stormy again as the weatherman spoke on the news tonight.

Husband has taken ill and I had to go to the Pharmacy to pick up his meds.  Computer glitch and the prescription was stuck in the system.  It wasn't there.  A few phone calls made everything all better.  Back to the Pharmacy.

The young man that dealt with me had a bushy beard.  I just learned what a HIPSTER is this past week.  I didn't realize that the next wave of stereotyping had a name....HIPSTERS.  I'm part of the BABY BOOMER GENERATION.  At the moment I cannot name all the generations.  Generation X,Y and Z.  Twix and tweens.  

Hipsters.  TATOOS and beards, tight jeans and what else,

BEARDS  ARE TALKED ABOUT IN THE BIBLE.  This one about Jesus having his beard plucked off clears up the issue that when he died he didn't have a nicely shaped beard.  It had been plucked off before being crucified.  When he was buried, his beard would have been seriously altered.

Isaiah 50:6 - I gave my back to the smiters, 

and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: 

I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
