The warm weather after a long, cold, dreary winter causes one to want to clean out the cobwebs, put away the blankets and sweaters, do a full house cleaning and make changes in ones life. We need to remind ourselves to practice some restraint in this, before taking on too much, making too many changes and set ourselves up for failure.
I have added studying for CLEP exams to take the tests for college credit the end of this year. This is in preparation for the Master's in Education program I hope to join in a year or so. I am having to learn the History of the World, Economics & some Spanish in a year. I joined a bible study group on the book of Genesis, signed up for Plenty of Fish (free online dating) and thinking I can run a blog too? Now this is all in addition to the 25 books I have on hold at the library, playing Words With Friends, going to the gym, and spending more time outside with the dog as the temps & daylight hours increase, not to mention the Garden that will need a full Spring overhaul. I had a case of spring fever that went out of control.
I sure am glad we are soon to add another hour to my day, only it still seems to me that every minute still has 60 seconds, every hour has 60 minutes, and every day has 24 hours in it. So where is that extra time? Fact is with the extra hour of daylight I end up visiting the garden after work.... so instead of more time, I have more work. Also the sun comes up an hour later, which causes me to sleep in later, so I am losing time. Now why don't we just leave all enough alone, and let me over extend myself with out screwing with the clock.
But all the experts say you can't make change with out effort.
I shall keep this in mind and try to stick to a schedule of postings rather than just random posts at random times. Do not rule out the random post now and then, for I am not perfect and might fail in my schedule or just have something to say. Also keep in mind, you have to be in motion to change, if you stand still and don't move nothing changes, everything is the same. But a body in motion is going to change, everything will change. I shall embrace that change.
Not to mention that it is the season of Lent too... oh my! But more on that another day.

Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world. It is a bit insane, idyllic, and just the way it is. I don't put on pretenses, I don't follow the normal grammar rules, but I will try.
I wouldn't say it has been easy, I wouldn't say it is hard, compared to many, many others. It is all in ones own perspective though and since it is your life, if it is important to you then it is important. Your reality is the center of the world, yes the world does revolve around you, for a bit. So this is my little corner of the world that revolves around me, where what I have to say is valued, listened to and right, even if it is just in my mind. I think it will keep me sane. So you are welcome to come along, we will diverge, drift and travel to other worlds at times, just hang in there it will make sense one day. (I hope)
I don't believe I have ever had the idealist life, especially when Miss Maggie arrived on the scene. At that point I learned that "what is, is". Now see Miss Maggie is a Red & White Irish Setter and VERY ACTIVE ... She takes on everything off and running, wakes up every morning with a wagging tail (as long as it is after 8am), she does everything 110%. So see adjustments had to be made. Early on I started the Maggie Chronicles - a series of emails to family & friends, about Maggie as a puppy and her many antics, and there were quite a few. I still stop and view life through Maggie's eyes and see it from a dog's point of view and realize alot. This is somewhat of a continuation of the Chronicles, and a bit of my own points thrown in at times.
It is all just the way it is, the way life is, as much as we try to get everything just right something goes array. But then, this is our world and you are a visitor here. Please come stop and stay for awhile, all are welcome, BUT you may only be nice, happy, loving, positive, and open minded. Help me to be that way too. Opinions are welcome though do understand, mine is the final one, why? Cause it is my world!
