 |   I am finding my stride and living life in a world filled with chaos and change. |
  And here's my Simpsonized picture...  and my daughter, Baba. Isn't she cute?  Actually, I need to upload the whole family, just for the heck of it sometime. Then, I'll always have them right here with me.  This journal forced itself into being because I loathe, no, I mean, I love to write. It is a struggle to state what I am thinking inside so a daily blog is just what I need. Not because I want to, I must. My thoughts are begging to be heard before they are lost in the caverns of my mind.  |
| Well, not that this is a surprise...I'm not feeling all that great this day and I really need to get better by the weekend. Why, you ask? Well, I'm visiting with a friend who I've not seen for over 5 years ago! It always seems like when I am trying to do the thing that I would find most pleasant, though, not that many pleasant things have occurred lately, sickness creeps in. Uggh! Boy, am I tired! Sorry for the short rant but I wanted to say something today. I hope that tomorrow, should I still be here, might be better and more enjoyable. |
| Today, I'm planning on the future. I've been bargaining with the present me for the chance at something I'm pursuing coming to pass. I sure do hope so though. Really short entry tonight but hopefully I'll have more tomorrow. |
| Today, gonna start something new in my life. Looking at beginning a small business with my spouse involving house painting, interior and some dry wall repair. This feels so WILD to me because I NEVER saw myself doing anything else but maybe investigating safety infractions or something similar but not this. It's not far fetched just not what I thought life had in store for me. I need to get some items typed up and file with the town recorder, as well as the local bond company to insure any clients will feel safe while we work in their home. I'm glad that I am typing on my blog again today; this is again, a weird thing that I'm starting to feel quite comfortable doing. Well, better turn. Till tomorrow. Thanks for reading... |
| Well, today I woke thinking how grateful I am for "getting" another day here. Life is a fragile thing; it is not to be taken for granted that you will have the next day. I have really been made aware of this with the three losses in our family in the past two years. That shaved off quite a bit of the family, which makes one feel more vulnerable. I was always in this state but for some reason, it never occurred to me that today might be it. So, I need to do more while I can, be more while I can move as well, experience the life that I know is out there with no regrets that I reached for it with all that I had in me! With this in mind, I started doing more, trying more things and even if I might need to play the fool while I am learning, it is better than sitting dreaming of things that I am not trying to actually obtain. I think of my Father. It makes me sad that he never got the BEST cheesesteak sandwich from a small shop in Merrillville IN, my sister and brother, never left the state once they moved to IN more than 30 years before. My husband and I try to leave every year, it is a healthy thing to do and what FUN we have when we do. It is better to try and fail while trying than to not try at all. |
