Cubby camping - our little peace.

Well, it would probably be listed in the number 10 ways on how NOT to BUILD a CUBBY.

A cubby is a trailer with a sleeping compartment and a kitchen. Towed behind almost anyting, like a 2002 Windstar... anyway it is in the shape of a teardrop. It was not completed but it was complete enough to do a 2 and 1/2 week tryout. Tarps are required. I think, whether you use aluminum skin or not. We used deck paint. and aluminum tape ( check your ducts on your forced air furnace, that shiny tape, we used 450 yards to "trim" our trailer. Also I did not keep detailed notes another "NOT TO DO" so 0 for 2 - wait , it gets better. The sleeping cabin was built for two and slept three (our dog Tikka) slept on a shelf untill the wee hours of the morning and she needed to pee or cuddle - she would jump down, what are the chances of not landing on a person when two persons are sleeping on a 45 inch surface..... sigh. There were some construction "issues" and tarp "issues" and some weather "issues:" but all in all we had a great time but won't take two and a half weeks. But the camping trailer- the cubby, our droplet will be completed and we will go camping agian next year ....now if we can just upgrade on the mini-van........

What challenges you? I know what challenges me. Negative thinking... negative self-talk. But I am, we are, more than that. I think that with the speed of life we are sometimes are left wanting the speed, and things do not stick, they are a blur. It does not leave us the time to refresh and I do not have a refresh button. The lack of time does not work in our favor as we often think our first negative thought soon the dam breaks and we are a wreck, as we have thrown ourselves on the rocks, the hard harsh words. That is why I write. To show that there are other words, other uses, other chances. You are not the darkness you think. Your may be bad, you may make mistakes, you have a choice........ so choose.... to experience..... hey re-tool, I did, you can; not cuz your better than me, cuz God is.

There is ........

There is a heart that beats deep inside,

Not only, in me, but in you, more than pride.

There is a drive, a passion with motivation,

Refusing to cave to violence, a victim of gangnation.

Judgement clouded, society to blame,

We court disaster when we master our shame.

Human unkind to our own kind,

There is depravity, a Pandora's box to find.

Has this left you riddled, better without holes,

Are you anchorless, only finding shoals?

There is Good News, eyes and ears be alert,

My price was paid, someone else absorbed, the Hurt.

Anger festers, focus is feigned, driven by distraction, bury this pain,

Criminals sequester, c'mon sense is drained, lost thru inaction, can you see my stain?
