Well Hello There! Long time, no see!
So this time it's been it's been almost 2 full years since I last posted. Having started this blog in 2007 and having made about 5 posts in all that time, one would think I would just give up and call it quits, right? I would agree with you!
However here I sit typing up a post and yet again having that warm fuzzy feeling of thinking I might actually enjoy blogging..........if only I'd do it more than once a year (or less.) Not only am I not admitting to defeat but am feeling very determined to make whatever changes I need to make in order to give blogging the time, attention and chance that I'd like! If only real life would stop taking up what seems like all my time! LOL
If I'm totally truthful with myself though I realize that I do have the time to blog. I spend more time than needed sitting on my duff watching tv (and yes, some of it pretty silly tv at that) and sitting either in the basement or outside smoking a cigarette, than I spend actually accomplishing anything! Maybe, just maybe, blogging will help me at least cut back, or eventually quit a nasty habit!
Life in general, being what it is with it's twists, turns, and surprises, never ceases to amaze me! I remember those older posts like I typed them yesterday, yet so much has changed both within and without since then it also seems like another person typed them.
Whenever I actually write (or type) something, whether it be a poem, a journal entry, a personal letter to a friend or family member, or.....a blog post for instance, I learn a little something more about myself...who I currently am, what I currently hold as truth, who I was and what I held as truth at one time. I know I'm a work in progress and I'm fine with that! To move ahead, go beyond, to look with new eyes.......is what I strive daily to achieve - but it's also fascinating to look back, to remember, to see through the eyes of who I was then! Combining the "then me" with the "current me" it's also possible to figure out many things, to have some aswers for the many "why" questions everyone has when looking back on their lives. For example I understand now "why" I made many decisions in my past - decisions that when looked back on through the eyes of the "current me" seem pretty stupid....but combining the "then me" with the "current me" I totally get it and understand.
We, just like life itself, are always changing, and forever flowing forward. We are given many life experiences, many choices, and many people to help us and for us to help along the way - combine all those experiences, choices, and influences and there's the creation of who we each are as individuals - we are all so different, yet the same - created by the same creator - each of us a unique and individual expression of LIFE. I look so forward to sharing my unique life with you! If I'm meant to impact your life in any way, and you mine, our common creator, will see to it that we have that opportunity! So please, if you stumble upon my little blog and would like to leave a note, suggestion, comment, link, etc. please do so! Let's impact each others lives! Yeee Haaaa! :0)
