Thank you, Parker. i sometimes feel like my life should be more than it is. That i should be more than i am. i also know that i'm not alone in this. i cannot change what got me here, but i can change, if i want to, where i go from here. i'm not sure i want to. Is it not okay to be happy as i am? i think we humans spend a lot of time worrying about this. i'm not sure whether it's worth the effort.
You've done and do lots of good in the world. Don't ever forget the lives you've helped to shape, my friend. xo
No, you're right, it isn't new to think about life passing us by.
I'm not complaining because my life now is pretty good. I'm lucky to be here and alive, as i am. And i may not have had opportunities others did growing up, but my life has made me who i am now.
But i have what a lot of people who grew up like i did don't have, and for all that i am grateful.
Thanks for reading and for your comments.
While You Waited
You kept saying
there would be time—
to breathe,
to move,
to become who
you were meant to be.
You watched the days,
like a train rushing past,
too fast to name,
then lingering in the station
while on the platform you were
always almost ready to board.
The invitation unopened,
the unanswered call,
the light on your face
shifting slowly
from morning gold
to evening's silver grace.
You told yourself
this wasn’t it—

Happy Friday! i am alive and well and remember most things. i didn't forget Michael entirely. It was weird. He felt familiar to me, but i didn't know why. And once i stopped groping Him, well, even then, i couldn't remember His name.
Seriously, though, i didn't know His name or who He was exactly. It took a while for things to come back to me.
But i'm okay today. Headache gone too.
i haven't forgotten what day it is either:
So, to (possibly) torture Gary.. i did pork tenderloin, with dry rub i make with brown sugar, paprika, garlic and onion powder and bit of seasoned salt. Then had some rice and 1/2 a pepper stuffed with sauteed carrot and onion, air fried cauliflower, zucchini and yellow summer squash.
it was all very yummy and satisfied the hungry men.
You don't have to be a geek. You just need to be a fan of excellent writing, big amazing adventures, and some great characters. In the case of the film, excellent adaptation of the books and some great actors.
We watch it every year. i love it. i've read the books several times too.
Happy Tuesday! It is also, World Photography Day! Get out there and take some pics!
For me, it is bread making day. I should have made it last week but it was just so darned hot! We bought a sourdough loaf to get us through and now the day has come for me to do some baking. Two loaves, coming up!!
Have a good day all!
