It's raining....UGH-ain!!! I may have to start getting my exercise building an ark.
Dogs are getting a bit stir-crazy....VERY quick in-and-outs for them. With all this rain, it's surprising how many people still have their sprinkler systems running on automatic....crazy.
My high school class had its reunion recently, but I didn't go, as it's halfway across the country. My school was quite small, so they've now gone to cluster-reunions, combining a handful of classes together. The coordinator sent me a photo of those who attended and - WOW - who are all those old folks????? Certainly couldn't be MY class!!!
It's really quite amazing how so many facial features I remember are still the keys to identifying people. Hairstyles even stayed pretty much the same. When you read some of the background info, it's amazing that so many people went on to do what they showed their talent to be way back in high school. A budding artist then now works in commercial art on the East Coast. A sought-after babysitter from a large family turns out to be an elementary school teacher. A skilled gal who sewed nearly all her own clothing (and her stuff looked GREAT!) went to work for a design house. A gal who was adamant, even in high school, that she just wanted to stay put in our small town, get married, and have a family did just that. The daughter of the school psychologist is now a therapist herself. And on it goes.
So where did I go wrong? I often wonder if I've squandered what potential I have/had. My life has certainly taken some very unexpected twists and turns. Some days, I can get lost in these kind of thoughts. But ultimately, I choose to believe that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and that my life's journey has developed me the way I was supposed to be.
Faith in God....a little prayer.....and one foot in front of the other.

Gee whiz, Sandy. You can't catch a break. Hope you get sun soon. I imagine you're right that your journey is as it should be. Are you happy?

Sandy - the rain has been making your brain soggy! You are blessed that you don't have to work and have the time to do the volunteer work you do. Somewhere there is somebody whose life you have made better - and I'm thanking you now on their behalf.

Sometimes I dwell in the land of 'what if'... but not too long. I know in my heart in all is turning out how God intended. Peace, is a valuable lesson. And while I may not have contributed to 'changing the world' on some grand scale... I am so blessed to have my husband, 3 loving kids, and a life that makes me smile at the end of each day. (ok, well most days anyway!) Sure know what you mean about the Reunion's though! I've never gone. Not sure I ever will. Great memories, but really don't have any desire to. Much Love.

Well Heather, I suppose I could have a grand discussion of "What is Happiness?" I am happy. It's not the kind of media-generated happiness with lots of "stuff," although I'll admit to having perhaps more than my fair share of "stuff" - LOL - but I do have a happy life. Most times, life, in and of itself, makes for happiness, if we'll just recognize that gift and use it wisely. :)

Soggy brain - I like that Buffy! Could well be the case! I've often thought that, perhaps, not being a paid employee anymore has been the true blessing, allowing me to take lots of time to deal with my parents' health crises, my DH's multiple surgeries, as well as delving into various volunteer projects. I would not have had that freedom if I had been still employed. No matter what HR tells you, there are always consequences to taking off large chunks of time, paid or unpaid, no matter the reason.

Paula, at least part of the "reason" for the weight gain over the course of my life is what I deem to be frustration that my life is not exactly, perfectly, on the path I had mapped out for it! Once I let go of that control, EVERYthing has gone a lot smoother! What can I say....I still have to battle my urge to control everything.

Hope you got your 1 lb off today that you wanted. And that the rain has let up and sun is shining. I am sure you have turned out exactly as God intended, and that you are who you are supposed to be :) No stinking thinking today. Have a happy day and give those babies a hug from me :)
