Wondering.

 I spend too much time wondering.
Wondering and thinking, about life, about people, about situations, about what has happened, about what is happening, about what might happen. Instead of just living in the moment, I'm mostly in another time frame - in the past, in the future.
I intellectualise.
I analyse.
I project and plan and evaluate.
All the time.
I spend too much thinking that I end up doing less.
Does that ever happen to you?

    I'm sitting around, scanning old notes from high school. Basically crap I've been toting around for 20 years now, but never bothering to read. One of them is a letter from a girl I dated and she's rejecting me in the letter because she doesn't like that I smoked and she just didn't have feelings for me. I get that now, but didn't understand it then. She also included a version of this poem where she changed a few minor things.

    I'm only commenting because you may find it humorous that she lifted the poem you've posted here from Danielle Steele and didn't attribute it to her. I know I find it funny.

Winter on the coast.

I'm back and a lot has happened.  I'm now a lecturer and I teach people things.  It's unbelievably rewarding to go to 'work' and to know the possibility is there that you're making a difference in someone's life.   It has also been hot .  Way too hot ... Almost unbearably hot.  And I've decided that I want to live on the coast in an area where it's mostly autumn/winter.    {I want cool, misty, wet days somewhere where it's green and quiet and beautiful.} Somewhere where it looks something like this:  A girl can dream, right?

Turning 30

This will be my last blog post while I'm still in my 20's.  Tomorrow I'll be 30 years old! What an interesting feeling.  My body is 30 years old, but my mind is still 19.  It's great, but strange at the same time.  I've done so many wonderful, wonderful things during these 30 years - it's been one hell of a ride so far! Between my 20th and 30th birthday I've pretty much had a taste of the following, in no particular order: Experienced being a Matie and obtaining a BA degree in Information Science My first overseas trip to France Fell in love way too many times Had my heart broken more than once Broke a heart or two Did online dating and had a few flings Overseas trip to the UK and Italy My first real 'big' job Several other jobs after that Experienced the negativity of a bad working environment and bad bosses Getting retrenched and being unemployed Had my wisdom teeth removed Spent time in hospital as result of my tonsils Took more risks Fell in...

There are a few reasons why I don't get around to blogging this year.  The main reason is because I think I have too much to say, and I'm not sure how to say it.  And I want it to come out right .  So I wait.  I wait, wait, wait, on myself, on the right feeling, the right words, the right time... And all this waiting gets me nowhere :)  Today I leave you with this gorgeous picture and a few reasons to feel good.  Because if all else fails, you need to remain thankful.  And sometimes a picture speaks a thousand words. A few of my reasons to feel good: My new Amazon Kindle. It's got a red, leather cover and I'm going to spend hours holding it and drinking in every word it has to offer. My pregnant cat. I can feel her babies move in her tummy and it makes me uncontrollably happy and excited. My new business cards. I have never had a business card.. it feels kind of good. My husband. He's great. He's calm, he's real, he's honest and true and we love ea...
