If it isn't your time....
Read about the first photo, and then look at the second photo.
In the picture above you can see where this driver broke through the guardrail, on the right side of the culvert, where the people are standing on the road pointing.
The pick-up was traveling about 75 mph from right to left when it crashed through the guardrail. It flipped end-over-end bounced off and across the culvert outlet, then landed right side up on the left side of it facing the opposite direction from which the driver was traveling. The 22-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were unhurt except for minor cuts and bruises. (Just outside Flagstaff , AZ , on U.S. Hwy. 100.)
Now look at the second picture below...
If God isn't done with you, He isn't done with you…

Yi Peng Festival Thailand (Floating Lights)
I would love to see the Yi Peng floating lights festival in Thailand. I think that something so beautiful and of such a large scale would be a magical experience. Just thinking about watching these sky lanterns being released all at once into the night sky gives me butterflies in my tummy. To me this seems like it would be the perfect place to let go of your troubles and strengthen relationships with your friends and loved ones. It is also considered good luck to release a sky lanter. I hope to go to this festival in the next few years :)
I have included a description of the sky lanterns and the festival below....
Sky lanterns, also known as Kongming Lantern are airborne paper lanterns traditionally found in some Asian cultures. They are constructed from oiled rice paper on a bamboo frame, and contain a small candle or fuel cell composed of a waxy flammable material. When lit, the flame heats the air inside the lantern, thus lowering its density causing the lantern to rise into the air. The sky lantern is only airborne for as long as the flame stays alight, after which the lantern floats back to the ground.
It is considered good luck to release a sky lantern, and many Thais believe they are symbolic of problems and worries floating away.
Yi Peng is the unique traditional practice of the Chiang Mai people of northern Thailand. During the holiday, thousands of paper lanterns are lit and launched into the air by locals and tourists alike.
