New Beginnings

I tend not to handle these things well. Blogs that is. I forget they exist and go about my daily life and months later, remember I was trying to keep one. But hopefully, this time is the charm. There are a lot of changes happening in my life, and I suppose I am hoping blogging about them, or my random thoughts, will help me process these changes better. If it entertains or helps someone else, more the better. I have no illusions that anyone will actually read this. I'd have to remember I have it to tell people about, wouldn't I?

But this time, I will try to write, because writing, as I have learned, is one way for me to process, deal, cope, survive, and avoid losing what little sanity I have left. It's a daily struggle, and one I often feel I am losing, what with the changes in the world, not just my life. Every time I think "I sound just like my mother" I feel that slip just a bit more. After all, I remember very clearly once stating I would never be just like her. Not that it would be a bad thing. My mother is a wonderful person. I just don't know how she did everything she did. I can't imagine keeping up with her.

But time marches on. My hair turns more and more gray. I have yet to find a wrinkle, but I'm certain they are waiting for just the right moment to appear and shake up my world. I am constantly reminded I am not as young as I once was. Late nights used to be 4 or 5 am. Now it's more like midnight if I'm lucky. Glasses are no longer a fashion statement, but a requirement. Let's not talk of my waistline, which like my teenage years has vanished into the pages of history. More is the pity I'm no longer a size 12. After all, the older I get the cuter the clothes for younger women.

But these are things I hope to talk about in depth as I go. I should leave topics for when I decide to write about them. Which will be in spurts and fits, three or four at a time, with lag between. Such is life.

If you do stumble across this, and happen to enjoy it, even if it is only to laugh, let me know. I find it interesting.

Bright Blessings-
