 |   You never know what you'll find - humor, ramblings, rants, randomness- it's all me! |
This description part is challenging. I never know what I will blog about until I start typing. I do know there will be typos. I don't reread or correct my blog. Otherwise it turns technical instead of my feelings and thoughts. Trust me, on stories and poems I'm a grammaraholic, but this is freedom. Sometimes to keep it from getting too personal, I even turn my head away while I type. Weird, right?. I hope you find this somewhat entertaining, thought-provoking, and humorous.   A little about me. The most important things in my life are family, especially my son, Reese, and my husband, Bruce, my walk with God, and making a positive impact in some way. I am a teacher, currently teaching 6th grade Language Arts. While at times my job can be trying, overall, it is one of the most rewarding passions in my life.   This is my wonderful son, Reese. He is now 20 and and a junior at Oklahoma State University. I may be partial, but he is an exceptional kid with the best heart I've ever known. He makes me laugh, think, and want to be a better person. We are both huge Oklahoma State Cowboy fans - Gooooooo Pokes!  This is Reese's dog, Betty. She shares a name with my mother. Reese named her that because she was beautiful and kind just like his Nanny (my mom). I'm not sure my mom is quite convinced it is a compliment though. Betty is a huge part of our family. She even had her own blog for awhile. Poke around at your leisure and shake your head at some of things that go through mine. I always return reviews/comments, though admittedly, sometimes it does take me awhile depending on what life is serving me at that point. Keeping the faith, Audra  |
| 'Never Look Back" - you hear that said often and I'm sure it has various messages depending on time, life, speaker, situations. I think, however, I know at least two circumstances where it is true. 1. If a Freddy Kruger type monster is chasing you, NEVER LOOK BACK! It doesn't end well. I have yet to see a movie, where the character running looks back and the monster says, "Man, you are way too far ahead; I give. Thanks for the cardio workout." It just doesn't happen. 2. Looking back on your blog - at least for me. I reread some of my blogs from when I started blogging; I don't even recognize me and/or remember much of the junk I'm rambling about. The thing that rattled me a little I guess, is I'm sure at that time those things were huge to me and maybe why I wrote them is because I had the foresight to realize I would forget them. But, hey, some of them are worthy of wiping from my mind and everyone else's. It's not like I'm going to delete them. I recognize they are a part of me. I guess what floors me is I remember believing as a kid that when you became an adult you don't change much after that. You see grownups go to work and take care of family, and I guess as kids we are so into ourselves that we don't see the change in others. Except, for my dad balding; we always noticed that - we had to have at least one thing to tease him about. Obviously, I was mistaken in my youth; I dare say I have changed more in the last twenty years of my life than I did in the first. Which may be an exaggeration since in my first 20 I learned not to pee on myself, talk, walk, etc. But then again, some days I feel as if I'm still working on those. Go ahead look back if you want; just don't forget to keep looking forward. Time for zzzzzzzz, Audra |
