One More Year

Can you recall what you were doing one year ago? Sam old, same old? It's been a long time since I put up a post and that is in part because I have been so busy. Since early 2006 I have moved five times, but owned only two houses. Finally settling into a home that I considered a turn key, yet I have been working on it since April 1st. It's time to get that painting done and take a well deserved break. I have thought of little else but to finish this project. The Momonnator got me thinking.........


Q: What would you do with the remainder of the year if this was all the time you had?
A: Travel to Italy, Spain, Provence, Hawaii and San Francisco.

Q: What would you do differently?
A:Invested better. Spent more time with my sister.

Q: Would you give up bad habits, eating junk food, complaining, nagging, gossiping?
A: No honestly not.

Q: What do you want you legacy to be?
A: Contribution to a greener planet by planting more trees. Improve my relationships, new and old ones.

The Only Constant

Who is to be credited for the quote that the only constant is change? What a terror in Haiti? What can we all do to help someone less fortunate? How brave are those doctors and other who bravely go into the country that is on the brink. I would be too afraid, honestly.

Reading other blogs I was reminded that this day would have been my dear old
Dad's birthday. Guess he'd be 75 if he were alive. Sometimes I think he is, and I finally learned the lessons. I think he looked like Clark Gable and acted like John Wayne or Gary Cooper. Always quiet always listening, steady as a rock.

Been looking at other homes, closer to work, if only fifteen minutes would be better. How many folks drive more that an hour to get to work each day? Reality is the great equalizer, though this was stressful, world events put it all in perscpective. I have not been this moved by a natural disaster in some time.
