I have returned. After many months not writing, I realized that I missed expressing myself. My approach to this continued blog will basically be the same. Except, along with memories of the past(good or bad) I will also do a journal of my thoughts, observations and feelings. Since I have been away for so long, I doubt very seriously if anyone will be reading what I write. In fact, I doubt if anyone will remember the name of my blog. Nor am I going to inform anyone that I have continued this blog. Before they felt obliged to read it; because I am a friend, parent, relative etc. I will critique my writing and either pat myself on the back or point a finger at myself, shake my head, and say “shame, shame, shame on you for being so bad”. This is GOOD for now I can write what I like and not worry about offending anyone. (Nope! That is impossible for I do this on a regular basis without even trying.)
My blog will be like an open diary on how I feel. I will treat and indulge myself in what I call “self-help therapy”. What do I mean by this? Simply, I can read and listen to myself talk since no one really listens to what I have to say. Maybe I should say they half-listen or they simply do not have the time to listen. I will be my own best friend. This is good for there are some, my sister Mary Gay for one, who would find fault or make negative judgments no matter what I write or how I write it; maybe, because of the possibility of the whole world reading it. (I wonder how many in the World read and took issue on that statement.) Thank goodness, I do not have to worry about her or any of her family/friends reading this anyway. None of them are computer literate to the extent of finding this blog. If they did find my blog, it would be by accident or someone "tattled." To my sister it would be of little interest, silly, or possibly shocking. Now the rest of the family does have above average computer skills, especially Lacy, who has her own Blog. She may remotely, out of curiosity, decide in the future to check-out my blog; and she may pass along my indiscretions to others in the family. Not to worry, I have myself well covered……”Age, along with strong sleeping pills grabbed hold of me during the night without my knowledge and made me write this junk.” I always tell Peggy everything, but this time she will not know either. A few stories to follow this introduction will be “Good Sister, Bad Sister”, “Dad: A Wise Man of Many Talents”, “Four Sisters: How Can They be so Different?”, “Fighting Your Own Battles Without the Support of Family” and address the topic on how you can become the “underdog” for the following statement: He said, “make sure you talk about me when I leave….I said I would," I did, and still paying the price for doing so. I am curious to see how I will approach this topic and not step on more toes... NADA!...I feel them breaking now...OUCH!
I have now triggered my own imagination with surly remarks and interest filled topics. I will take a break until after the 4TH of July. Sue… have a great 4TH with Claire, Laura, Nancy and Paige. Poor Jim has to work, but he loves burgers and that will be his dinner. With a hacking cough and no sleep, I am about to embark on a week with my granddaughter and her best friend...HELP!
