like mercury colliding…

Today is the final day of this challenge….**sigh**. It has been fun! Today, I will leave you with some wise quotes indeed…from some of my favorite animated friends. Being animated as they are, voice, giving voice to things, and being authentic are very important…and so here are three quotes that, I’m sure you already know…but definitely worth repeating!

No challenge invites today…Just sharing the joy! Happy Thursday!

8 Ball by Kat 2015

I like to flip the Magic 8 Ball on my desk to see what my answer for the day is. The question is irrelevant. Unlike the instructions direct, I like to read the answer first and then nod to myself in agreement…or if the answer doesn’t resonate with me at the moment, I just flip the ball for another answer.

“Ah ha!” you may be thinking…”if you go for another answer, then you MUST know the question.” Um…not necessarily. The answers merely jolt my question memory bank so that I can apply the answer and put it to good use. And one other nice thing about 8 Balls. If you don’t like the answer…you don’t have to entertain it. There are 20 other possibilities waiting for your next flip. Of course, all this only works if you believe in the magic of a Magic 8 Ball. I believe in magic.  Sometimes only an 8 Ball will do.

If this all sounds a bit wacko, I might agree with you, if it wasn’t me we’re talking about. I like to think…scenarios, ideas, strategies. There is never a time when I’m not thinking about something. And now you’re thinking, “this girl needs to meditate…or medicate…either might help.”

At any rate, I decided an answer might be a nice thing to have today. I dusted off my Magic 8 Ball and gave it a flip…and this is what it said…”YOU MAY RELY ON IT.” And of course…it got me to THINKING!

The first question that came to mind was, “what is it?” I mean, what is IT? While I’m not entirely sure, the answer did get me to think about all the things I pretty much can’t rely on…List A…and those things I can rely on…List B.

Here are my lists. What would you add?

List A – The Unreliables
People
Cable News
Public Transportation
GPS Systems
Expiration Dates
The Weatherman
Banks

List B – The Reliables
Dogs
Shade Trees
The Sun
The Moon
Stars
Gravity

Do you see a pattern here? Oh and one more thing you can rely on…Magic 8 Balls! I’m sure I’m missing something…(Note to Self: add memory to the unreliable list.)

I still don’t know what the question is. But like I said, that’s irrelevant. Whatever IT is, I know I can rely on it. (because the Magic 8 Ball told me so). In this crazy, chaotic world, I gotta say that’s kinda nice to know.

Hope you’re having a fabulous Wednesday! 🙂
