Listy listy listies!

Anyone that knows me well knows that I'm a completely freaky list person... pretty much have been since I could write. My family members will often come to me on busy days when we all have one common goal (but different tasks) and say in very enthusiastic voices (not really) "okay, gim'me my list".

So, here's my list of everything I want to say (this blog has become like my journal-scrapbook) since I've hardly written anything the past several months:

Maddy
The Great Brain series
The Dick Van Dyke Show
Joe
Lilacs
Ally's blankie
Tin foil dinners
Meteor showers
Connie Britton
Neighborhood Watch
Eric Dowdle
Parma Motor-Vu
My Austrian Pine
The month of July :-|
My security sheet
Natalie Grant
The Huntington Library and Gardens
Ally - scones - Mona Lisa - La Vie en rose - At Last
'Rule the World' by Take That
Grace Kelly's wardrobe and in particular the multi strand pearl bracelet with gold lockets featured in 'Rear Window'

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now. People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying. Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many. Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People. Oh, the people. In so many ways huma...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead. No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year. Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment. I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
