Galileo: King of night vision and insight

Isn’t it odd, that much has not changed over time.  I do believe that mind set is still embraced in our lifetime.  Is it me or does anyone else out there also finds it ironic?

I chose to believe that Galileo was the king of night vision and insight because  I needed to understand and learn one of many important life lessons. Nature helped heal my soul. 

I would of never believed it came to me in a form of a very tiny newborn pot belly pig.

Please, let me show you a picture of one of my life lessons,

Quick Back story; Galileo was the only living piggy from the litter. When I found him, I thought he had pass on too. He was so cold but
he still managed to move his back little hoof, to let me
know it wasn’t his time yet.

I have always struggled with
seeing, hearing or touching little dying, delicate things.


There is something about it that hits my heart and soul too hard, then I can not breath.


Needless to say, I got over myself quickly and did the right thing as I perceived it to be.
Which was to pick him up and set up a neo-natal unit in the house.

I had to at least try and give the tiny fellow a chance, he is delicate thing.

I got him back on his hooves and promptly took him back to his mother (Wilby) who  sniffed him and looked me straight in the eyes, and grunted, not mine

She then proceeded to  turned around and walked way for us.  I was yelling for her to get back to her only living son, but she wasn’t having it, and I personally did not want to totally start over with a newborn 24/7 {being honest}

 In Wilby’s defense, she never did like the play, and she hated the pay.

Mamma, oh Mama,
 Yes dear?
Can we please get back to ME?

Hi, Everyone My name is Galileo

{Me and my friend Kracker}

My Uncle Babe, he is the one I got my dancing skills from.

{Me and my brother from a different mother Aidan}

This is me mortified because my mamma got a hold of me

So what is the life lesson for Tina?   

Hhhmmmm….I realized even when I am broken I was able to get over myself and do the right thing.  Maybe I am savable,  wait… I know I can save myself, I  mean I need to find the Faith, Hope or Purpose to understand why I need too.


To lead a life in which we are inspired and can inspire

 others, our hearts have to be alive; they have to be filled


 with passion and enthusiasm. To achieve that, we need the


 courage to live true to ourselves. Rather than borrowing


 from or imitating others, we need the conviction to be able

 to think for ourselves and to take action out of our own
 sense of responsibility

I am starting to want to understand. That is good, Right??

Now introducing for the first time, my baby boy,
 Galileo the dancing pot belly pig (thank you Uncle Babe)
