Thoughts I have....

After not posting for several months, I am going to attempt another round of interesting information for the family. Okay, for me, but the family can read it. 

Today my good friend Chris is starting her new life as a retired schoolteacher in the Austin area. Moving is so hard on everyone. The ones who are left have a hole in their hearts and the ones who leave have a hole to build around. Having been both "ones", I can say that neither is bad and both bring growth and that is good.

Motivation is a funny word.It implies moving forward somehow, but if you are a "slow processor" such as myself it might take time. For example, returning to this blog. I have a swarm of ideas buzzing in my head, but when the idea strikes, I may not be near the computer or I may not want to write it down because then I will have to act on it. Today I am motivated to write a bit. Tomorrow? Who knows.

My mother told me that when I was little she would wonder where I was and when she found me I would be just sitting in a chair being still. I remember pretending a lot of the time. The two probably are related! I would stand in the hall a bit away from the bathroom and wait because the entire Mickey Mouse Club cast was with me and it was not my turn. I remember wanting to be a horse. Unfortunately this was during my elementary school years so it meant I did not find many friends like me. Not every girl wishes she were a horse. I set up jumps in the yard and pretended to gallop around and jump over them. I was my own horse show! I guess this was the precursor to planning trips and wanting to know what is going to happen before it occurs.

That is all for now since I am motivated to go organize some things. I just wanted to write something so I could continue this blog. I feel better now!
