Ahh! The joys of growing older. Your brain can flow all over the place.
I sit in my house tonight and have been just thinking about “stuff.” Old time rock and roll, education, my kids.
Hmmm, shouldn’t call them kids. Brittany is a college graduate about to start her first teaching job this fall in IL and is looking for an apartment and all the stuff that goes with that. Danyne is about to be a sophomore at ONU and is living and working at ONU this summer. Colleen is a freshly minted high school sophomore interested in getting her driver license. Where did the time go?
I still feel 18. My hair isn’t quite the same shade it was then. (Darlene’s is! How is that possible?) I am still in school – granted it is for a Masters, but it is almost 30 years after I got my bachelors. Why’d I wait so long? This has been fun! Taxing, strenuous, challenging, but fun. Why did I wait? Oh yeah, Life happened – work, kids, church responsibilities, school board stuff. Only four more months and I graduate. What a deal!
I was thinking this afternoon, that it was good that I got off the school board. Lots of stuff going on that I am glad I don’t have to deal with, but I am seeing what my yard is like for the first time in 17 years. Pretty sad. I didn’t know what it was like to sit in the back yard on the little swing like chair my mother in law got us and play with the dog. Amazing. It is pretty nice. Did you know sunsets are pretty neat when seen from outside and not from within a board room?
Well this isn’t really very thought provoking tonight, but I thought I needed to keep something fresh out here.
See Ya!
John
