HONK, HONK, HONK ~ I pray that everyone understands each and everyone of us has our own place in this formation and we as the flock need to love ourself, others and especially the ones who have fallen out of formation from either weariness or struggle even if we don't understand their journey as we glide into the winds of change. With Love, Lisa, TOWANDA!!!

I have heard this story from a couple sources but the first time is from a F.S. buddy named Evie so here it is...HONK, HONK. FS Community, you need to read this for ENCOURAGEMENT. YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM A GOOSE Milton Olson has studied Canada geese and compiled these lessons: 1. Geese fly in a V formation for greater range of the entire flock. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the d following. This adds seventy-one percent to their flying range than if one bird was flying alone. LESSON: People who share a sense of common direction and community get where they are going quicker and easier. 2. When the goose falls out of formation it feels the resistance of flying alone and quickly gets back into formation. LESSON: Stay in the the company with those headed in the direction you want to go. 3. When the lead goose gets tired another goose takes the point position. LESSON: It pays to take turns doing hard tasks and sharing leadership. 4. The geese in formation honk to encouarge the lead goose. LESSON: Be sure your honking is helpful. 5. When a goose gets sick or wounded two geese fall out of formation and follow it to the ground and protect it. They stay until their companion dies or is able to fly again and then launch out to catch up with the flock. LESSON: Stand by each other in difficult times. I thought this was such a blessing and wanted to share. I've heard it said "There is no better exercise for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. ~ John A Holmer" That's the kind of person I want to be in life...to everyone in my sphere of influence, including my cyber buddies. I'm HONKING for YOU today!
(In the Video I Loved hearing the little boys comments, "what or who made them fly here today"? "They just did it!") Let's all take a moment to think of our Cathy as she takes flight today and send our prayers of love to everyone here who may need some uplifting.

12 noon and my hunger is finally under control...whew, already used up 500 plus calories. Hoping this holds me over until at least 5 or 6. My energy was through the roof so this has settled my stomach down some, still feeling good energy but not as nervous. Food calms, that is for sure. 3PM an Orange hit the spot hungry for now I am not! TOWANDA!!!!
