Earthquake?

As I was sitting on my kitchen bar stool chair finishing my breakfast yesterday morning the house started shaking and then I was literally shaking sitting on my bar stool chair.  What is going on?!  Surely it's not an earthquake here in Texas.  I've been in one other earthquake when I lived out in California several years ago.  It was a 5.4 earthquake that was hundreds of miles away, but I definitely felt it.  I was sitting on my couch in my second floor apartment and my sister was in her room.  All of a sudden the floor below my feet began to rumble.  But, that was it...no pictures moving on the walls, nothing fell down...it was quite tame for my first earthquake.

But, the earthquake yesterday morning was much stronger and noticeable.  And it was...it was a 5.6 earthquake, but it was centered 95 miles northeast of Oklahoma City which isn't exactly close.  It's amazing how far the shock-waves could be felt...from here to Kansas to Iowa.  Crazy!  Definitely unexpected, but thankfully my two earthquake experiences have been mild compared to what others have experienced.  And, I'm thankful for my house's structure in holding up to the 15-20 seconds of shaking!

What has shaken you over the past week?  Who has shaken you by something they said to you?  Do you foresee a shake up in your future?  At work?  At home?  At school?  Or what do you want to shake up in your life?  A new job?  A break-up?  A move?  A new hair cut?

Whatever your week ahead has in store I hope you're shaken to the core for a good reason/cause or you simply just shake up your week to put some excitement and/or spontaneity into your life!  Either way, shaking things up can be a good thing!  Blessings for an awakened shaking of joy and possibilities this week!!
