It's Been A Long Time

It's been a really long time since I've written. I don't think that it is fair to say reason that I haven't written, is that I've been too busy  because I really believe that you make time for the things that are important in your life.  I think the problem is that I've become lazy.  It's too easy to just live life and not spend precious moments considering the the moments of your life.  Not a great period of growth in my life, but I have been happy and content and there have been moments in my life..when both happiness and contentment have alluded me...

There is something about Fall that stirs in me a desire for renewal...I know New Years or Spring is the time that most folks think of renewal..but in my soul it's fall.  So I'm about to undertake a new path, I'm not sure what direct the path is going to take..but I feel the need to move..not just experience...but to change and grow.

I went to Church to day at Fayette Baptist Church  http://www.fayettebaptistchurch.org/.  It not my first time visiting there, but I do have to say that today it really felt like coming home. I need to strengthen my ties with God and I need to find a Church were I feel like I'm coming home.  So there is step one down the new path..I'm going to start looking for a church. It will be interesting to see what the "man" makes of the new step.

I know good plans have three or four steps...but I tend to get overwhelmed by many steps...the other thing that happens is that I tend to work on step four and forget step one and two so we are going to start with two steps...one find a church...two try and write in the blog so I can follow my progress (or lack there of). Step three which I have been working on for a while...is clean out the storage shed...now your asking where did that step come from?  From the recesses of my mind with the design of keeping you guessing!!!

THE THREE EIGHTS SHIFT

    Today things have been a little off...its like my universe shifted a 3/8" of an inch to the left.  Leaving me to ponder things that the rest of the populace are not even aware of....

    My morning started with the cat informing me that alarm clock had lost power during the night.  The alarm didn't go off, but the cat jumping from the dresser to the bed, THUMP.  From the nightstand to the bed, THUMP.  Again from the dresser to the bed, THUMP.  Finally from the pillow next to me to my head THUMP.  I'm up! I'm up! I'm Late!!

    One example of the shift, was this morning while scraping the ice away from the front door of the store.  I was aware of what pleasure I was getting from separating the layer of ice from the walk way.  Matter of fact I was getting real joy out of destroying the well spread layer of ice.  I think that I could have continued scraping ice from the parking lot for at least a couple of hours.  Then again my old back would have moaned really loudly!

    Then when talking to the guys in Michigan I mentioned the squirrels that power the computer system at work...seem that using squirrels is either cutting edge technology..or just a the wild imaginings of an overworked buyer...trying to explain why an e-mail takes five minutes to arrive....What are you suppose to talk about with a total stranger when waiting for an e-mail?

     On the way home in the snow (it must be noted that this is the second day in a row driving home in the snow) I noted that there is one section of the Poor Farm Road (do all towns have a Poor Farm Road) that the town is just not plowing ...is that because the people who live along that stretch of the road don't pay their taxes?  Maybe they a ecologically minded and its bad for the earth to plow?  Why aren't they complaining? 

      So now I'm home...dinner is done, dishes are washed, the man is sleeping while watching TV.  Try changing the TV station if you don't think men can sleep and watch TV.  Know what he can even snore and watch TV.  The cat is laying in front of the screen in back of the keyboard..taking lessons on typing.  Me I'm waiting for the 3/8" shift back to my regular existence....
