Year End Thought-Positive Aspects of Mud

I was watching the news last night about the storms in California. Man, what a mess. Some places had 20 inches of rain and lots of floods and mudslides.

They showed a house-no one was hurt-where the mud inside was 4 feet deep. The owner was walking on the mud and he had to bend over not to hit his head on the ceiling. Which led me to think-Why not turn a negative into a positive???

What a great time to change ceiling light bulbs with compact fluorescents to save energy, replace the old ceiling fans and put in fresh smoke detector batteries. And it looked like the ceiling could use some fresh paint so why not do that also. No ladders or scaffolds needed, just reach up and do the work.

So as 2011 approaches lets be thankful for all of the blessings of the past year and remember that a house full of mud is half full and not half empty.
