Saturday I celebrated my 48th year on this planet, which is rather shocking because when I was a teenager, I knew that I would not live beyond the ancient age of 30. Lately I have been reflecting on life experiences and the journeys that I see many enduring, and I've noticed a similarity of real life to the board game "Chutes & Ladders." I read a little about the game on the world-wide-web & found that "Chutes & Ladders" was derived from a game in England called "Snakes & Ladders," which seems more appropriately labeled when you think about it. Even though the "Chutes & Ladders" board game is marketed for children, there is an underlying morality lesson contained within. If you plod along from box to box, you will more than likely land on a chute which will knock you back. Yet if you are lucky to land on a ladder, you will zoom up that wooden piece of success and perhaps win the game.The irony of this board game has definitely been experienced within my life this past year. I'm very grateful for my health, family & friends, a newly published book, two budding girls' lacrosse teams and much more. However, I am cautious about my next turn at the game.....
TODAY I ENJOY CELEBRATING ALL OF THOSE THAT MAKE MY LIFE INTERESTING & FULL! THANKS FOR READING MY BOOKS & BLOG. CHEERS TO YOU!

ABBY'S MUSIC NUGGET OF THE DAY:
My daughter has a pretty exceptional ear for music. She wanted to share the music of Australian Chet Faker, and she predicts Chet will be pretty huge here soon:

Jude Southerland Kessler - You'll get the whole "Kit 'n' Kaboodle" when you listen to Jude & Kit O'Toole chat on Jude's blogtalkradio program last week. It was a brilliant chat about John Lennon's "ear worms." Are you wondering what an ear worm is? (even my smarty pants daughter didn't know what it was ...) Then you should listen to this show!
