I am searching for myself- anyone seen me lately? I have just turned 50 and feel like I am about to embark on a new journey. I have always kept a very secret and private journal of thoughts and ideas. Mostly, I have erratic memories and events jotted down with the occaisional sprinkling of philosophical thoughts spiced with ruminations. I am not always so willing to share. Twenty years ago I was in grad. school working hard. A stomach ache sent me to a doctor who eventually arrived at the estimation that I had about 8 years left to live (under the best conditions). I dropped out, buried myself in the mundane living of raising a family, savoring just about every minute. It is now 20 years later and I am going strong. So, what happens next? I guess we'll see.
I think of some of my relationships are a dance... never quite sure who leads, who follows and where to place my feet. I've stepped on too many toes... still I think your advice is well put. If I cannot express what I want in a way that is clear and acceptable to the other person, my wants and needs most likely will go unfulfilled.
<tapping foot>....well...it's already July, so what do you think? Are you going to enter something or not...this is your conscience speaking! LOL Ohhh just me...stopping by to see what is up with you.
I like that idea of Improv classes. I have to tell you that back in my high school day, I was going out with a guy who had taken drama classes and at night, he had to go. This one night I went with him just to be with him and they needed someone else to play some part in this Greek acting scene...I ended up getting a standing ovation even though it was just a class. LOL I'll never forget that because I had no idea I could even act, but I felt at home with my boyfriend being there and was relaxed with the whole idea. It was great!!! I bet you get joy from that. That is wonderful! SummerLyn
Writers block is just a way of saying you don't feel like writing anything important. so don't.
Now you live in Atlanta, I am in Michigan and no daffodill are springing any where outside. March is ugly and cold up here so your right you need to get out and enjoy your spring, I think I will get to it sometime in June!
Have a good day and thanks for letting me read your journal. I love we are all on journey's. I am 42 and this has been a big big journey year for me, I think the age thing is useless to worry about.
Later

house guests are always great to have....but they do bring that 'buzz' that can be great but also can throw us off our 'game'.....hope as you have progressed into Feb. you are back on your 'game'
Yes, blogging is a bad habit ... hope it's catching .
Happy? I'd settle for joy. However, that means I've got to open myself up to it. (Being happy and thankful with what I have is part of that.)
Might look into a book by Linda Kavelin Popov, "A Pace of Grace" if you are ever overwhelmed and stressed. It speaks about everyday virtues and common sense spirituality as found in all religions. I'm working my way through it.
