Found a list of things we should all stop doing by the time we're 30...



A list of 30+ things...

Not going to include it all..... some were pitifully obvious and shouldn't even need an explanation.

However...... still, there are some I found applicable that I'm doing 20+ years beyond.

Apologizing for everything under the sun.
Rejecting compliments rather than accepting them.
Coming undone because you spotted a new wrinkle.
Hating your body.
Putting off exercise in favor of watching Real Housewives reruns (in my case, more like Masterpiece Theater-type stuff).
Saying you’ll travel “someday.”
Hanging on to friends that don’t enrich your life.
Buying tons of groceries, then letting it all go to waste because takeout is so convenient.
Pretending you don’t understand the meaning of the word “budget.”
Sentencing every single one of your plants to a parched or waterlogged death.
Trying to get through life on five hours of sleep a night.
Letting your laundry pile up until the heap is big enough to double as a modern art installation. 

I thought the death of houseplants was a little weird.... but then I thought about my indoor herb garden.... ugh.  I've raised two girls.  And yet, my little plants are less than....robust?

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."
