While I want to write more, I don't want to just share random thoughts everyday. That's boring, or it could be - at least it seems like it to me.
So, here's what I'm going to do.
This weekend, and to be honest probably into next week - I'm going to take some time to do some planning, to decide where I want to go and how I want to get there.
The tomorrows are piling up after all
- and I'd like to make them count.
See you sometime next week.
Did you ever know exactly what you were going to wear that day when you got up in the morning and then completely change your mind once you were out of the shower?
Happened to me today.
Also - thought I knew what I wanted to write about today, but that's not working out either.
Ah well... Tomorrow will be here soon enough -
- and it's all still part of the story. Right?
I guess we'll find out.
Tomorrow?
Today's phrase seems to be "life changing"
As many know, I watch at least some portion of The Price is Right pretty much every week day. Today, a young lady spun a dollar on the wheel and won $1,000- happens all the time. Then, with her bonus spin, she spun another dollar and won an additional $25,000 - happens more often than you'd think, but definitely not "all the time."
"Well, that's life changing," I remarked, and Netter agreed.
A little while later I was reading through some sports sites and ran across an article about a hockey player who was living his best life finding a career with the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League. He had been paralyzed playing hockey in high school and the article discussed his life since, and the "life changing" circumstances of what had happened to him. A different, not so positive, type of life change though honestly he is doing a helluva job.
Yeah, I'm catching my breath too...
So, I got to thinking - you saw the smoke, (I'll try not to use that joke too often) about life changing events, good, bad, realized, unrealized... and of course, I thought about the new year.
We all want change for the new year... Right?
I have to admit I'm a bit stuck on this one... New Year's eve very often finds me in deep thought and New Year's day I am in deep reflection -
Not so much this year though...
I dunno... I guess I know what I'll be talking about for the rest of the week.
What's your new year take?
Whew - Kinda dusty in these parts... Has it really been 8 1/2 years since I posted? Dems da facts as they say...
So much has happened - where to begin? What shall we talk about? Oh hell... who knows...
Here's what I do know - I've been retired for almost 6 years. One of my retirement goals was to write more. One of many goals... Life has taken many interesting, and not so interesting twists and turns... and well, I haven't written more. Although...
I do write in my head - every day. Not a very useful medium is it?
Yes, I know how that sounds.
But - I've decided to give it a go, to find a space, to put down some words every day - well every work day anyway, and see if I can find this voice, my voice - again.
I'm a lot older, a little grumpier, and maybe even a little wiser than the last time I decided to share some thoughts and stories... I feel like now is a good time. I will try not to be too grumpy.
I might stay here. I might move... I'll probably continue to share on Facebook - just because I know there's at least a few folks there who might enjoy what I write. Who knows...
The only thing I'm sure of is this: It is time to write. It's the one thing I have always enjoyed. Good, bad, indifferent. It's not work. It's just what I do. Why not share it... What do you think?
