Chris and I went for a walk this afternoon to check out the flood damage.
(Some of the pics are redundant, as seen in this post)
Youtube wasn't playing nice so instead of the video, here's the link. Amazing video of a once in a life time stunt!
Duluth Flood 2012 on a Jet Ski
(July 2014 Addition: For those who are unaware of the flood that hit Duluth in June of 2012, this is what I'm referring to here.)
My husband and I just got back from walking around the Lakeside neighborhood of Duluth and I am in complete awe of what 8 inches of water can do. It is literally amazing. Here's what we saw.
This has become my montra. My go-to phrase when the proverbial poo hits the proverbial fan. Don't get me wrong, I've been blessed with a lot of things in my life-a great family, a great husband, health, all those great things...-but sometimes I just wish everything would go the way I want it to go. Is that too much to ask???
Anyway, this is how I look at things. Adventures.
Life is too short to be mad at the cosmos for dealing you the cards you were dealt.
So I chose to enjoy my time, even if things aren't going perfectly, or even remotely alright. I realize that most situations are temporary and there is an end to every dark tunnel. You just might have to experience the adventure before you see the light at the end of it.
Dang, am I wise or what?
