Around the world and far away...

My calendar here at home is still on September...I just noticed that.
That's nothing, I was in my daughter's room the other day and noticed hers was on July.
I've always been vague, and floaty.  Today, influenced by Angel's journal, I thought briefly about opening my eyes and looking around at my life and relationships.
Then I realized why I'm vague, and floaty...what if I look around and don't like what I see?  What if I have to make a change? 
I'm putting my head back in the sand now...maybe sometime in the future I'll try again.
GOOD NEWS:
Today was the big day...Donna and Steve finally have Mackenzie!  I'm so happy for my dear friends...this has been a long, long time coming.  They'll be in China for another 1 1/2 weeks, then they're bringing her home!

  1. Congratulations to them......I can only imagine the joy they're feeling about now.  I know what you mean about not looking around too closely......I don't like to upset my personal apple cart either.......

  2. I went to change our calendar the other day to October, and when I  flipped it up, there was no Oct, Nov or Dec! It was there when I hung it up! This is the shenanagins you put up with when there are teenagers in the house! Of course neither of them had no idea!

  3. I know what you mean about the vague and floaty thing.  I think my entire family is basically vague and floaty except for my sister.  Not sure how she escaped it--personally I hate being that way, though it does have it's moments.  I'll have to check out the link.  I love to hear about successful adoptions.

  5. Back in the good old days I embraced change.  I loved it!  Now, it seems all twinkly and enticing at first, but scary after I think about it.

  8. Hey-

    Came across your blog today. Great stuff. Hope you had a good time at Midnight Madness.

    Noticed you were a sports fan. Hoping you could add a Blogroll link to my "College Basketball Blog,"
    http://collegeball.blogspot.com. I'd very much appreciate a link on your site.

    And would gladly return the favor, adding you to my blogroll.

    Thanks!

  9. Where is the date on this entry?  Am I blind or what?

    I know how it feels to avoid stuff, I really do.  However, I got so tired of suffering the outcome of avoidance that now I just deal with the conflict head on and get it over with.  I think that is best.  I am here wishing you the strength to deal with it all, I promise you, it will be all better once it is over.  


    Good for Donna and Steve, it seems like they have been very diligent about having little Mackenzie.  It all sounds wonderful.

  10. I am sorry that you are putting your head back in the sand.  I know I still have to answer your one email and that is bad on my part.  I will get to your email soon.

    Congratulations to your friends on thier daughter.  It is such a great thing.

    Hugs,
    Anita
