I didn't realize how lucky I am...


I guess I do get blessings in my life...
So the other day, I noticed a lovely old spider web strand floating down from my bedroom ceiling. Oh joy! Me and spiders are tight! Not. Anyway I thought it was best to give the room a once-over dusting...Of course it is always good to collect the dust from the ceiling fan blades. So I proceeded to also do that. The first blade edge...the 2nd blade edge...the third...oops, just slightly brushing the blade edge of the third one sent the whole fake wood blade down onto my bed...I was so surprised. And no, the fan had not been running at the moment. But what a scary thought if that blade had flown off during the night or something while I was sleeping. And the really odd thing is that if you look at the photo, the place where the once present blade was, looked like it was cut off on the metal part. Eek. It shocked me, and of course I am not sure when I will get a new ceiling fan to replace it, but I am also SO grateful that it didn't injure me like it so easily could have. 

I feel very lucky and VERY blessed. Goodness. I am still surprised by it.

So glad you are OK - you needed a little excitement in your life, but really.

Ahh! Now I am going to be paranoid about my fan flying off in the night. I guess I better do some dusting just to make sure!
