It seems so quick to arrive! I'm naming this gorgeous  WHITE PEACOCK to be my guide and my ? whatever the name is for safe travels. I simply love  this PEACOCK in all its elegance and beauty! Magnificent  Creature  of the Universe!  I feel his splendor and PROTECTION! I'm only 'being moved' across a lawn to a beautiful apartment with an even better view of Gin Lake than I have had! Imagine my delight! More lake showing surrounded by massive trees all the way around except from like on a clock, 5:00 to 7:00 right in front of my new apartment  where there is 1 Cypress tree and a large bush!There also is a bench at the foot of my walk way that overlooks the entire lake!

Interruption when doing something (right in the MIDDLE of doing something.) Being interrupted or sidetracked can be very disconcerting, to say the least and  it also can be a wake-up-call  to PAY ATTENTION to what is going on  with  you or around you. Sometimes it can be a life-saver  because it brings us back to CONSCIOUSNESS to
