The Running of Meatballs and Critters

How many of you have heard of The Running of the Meatballs? Well for those unaware you'll soon learn all about it in my post today. Of course, plenty of critters, wooden, live or hairy on display as well. Enjoy.

Don't let yesterday take up too much of today.

I'll also introduce you to some iconic decorative wooden horses from Sweden called Dala Horses or Dalahaster like the one below.

Be like dogs. Love people. Use things.

Stop worrying about what could happen

 and cherish what did happen.

Every day is a second chance.

Which aren't things at all." 

"She says nothing at all but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars. Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human? Pointless, really. Do the stars gaze back? Now, that's a question." Neil Gaiman 

"Our memories are not in our things; our memories are inside us."

Unlock joy in any situation.

The Running of the Meatballs

A unique and hilarious downhill race of thousands of meatballs (brown painted golf balls) rolling wildly down that's not only fun to watch but is a huge fundraiser for the museum.

"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." Neil Gaiman

So now what are you going to do with the rest of your weekend?

The way I see it is this, our futures are filled with new levels of aliveness and possibilities and a vast amount of adventures, if we decide to uncover them, and claim them to be ours. 

Thanks for cruising in and gifting me with your thoughts.

Take good care of you!
