I sometimes pray for even just a small whisper to tell me that I am on the right path. I feel like the universe just yelled at me. I have a vacation week approaching. Last weekend, someone recommended that I take a trip to the Smokey Mountain National Park. It sounded perfect. Fresh air and hiking, but not too rugged. Three times I hit <purchase ticket> and three times the transaction failed for one reason or another. Well, okay then…there are other places to go hiking. I began research for areas in Maine and Vermont. My eyes began to glaze over so I left the finalization till today.
I had been on the internet most of the morning without incident. Five minutes into narrowing down my selection, the smoke alarm gave out a long chirp. The power went out. My laptop, happy with its battery appeared fine. However, the router had lost power so the internet had left me. I think I will be staying close to home.
A great joke about listening and recognizing signs. The man at his house during a great flood.

sometimes staying home is the place we can be
I am sure to enjoy exploring close to home.
take photos and share
Good idea!

You hear the same way I do! 😉

It does seem that either you’re not meant to go or you’re being give a lesson in perseverance…Diane
I was reading after I posted to check things and as I was reading the words “purchase ticket”, the power went off again. 8) Coincidence, maybe, but I have already started to make plans closer to home.
Yeah, sometimes it feels like we’re getting bopped on the head till we get it!
Lol. I may need to adjust my tuner so I don’t need a helmet next time.
I never thought of a helmet. No wonder I have such a head ache! 🙂
HA! Let me know if it works.
LOL!
Isn’t it a wonderful feeling to know your being looked after? 🙂
Very!

Awe, thanks so much!! 🙂
I pray for signs too, and lately I pray that I will be able to understand the signs. I am afraid I will get it wrong. What if instead of telling you not do go, the Universe is testing your perseverance? Great post – great food for thought!
I agree. Once I think that I have noticed a sign, what does it mean?
