50 SHADES OF..... 2013

Ha Ha

I thought the title might grab your attention

because , seriously....I got Nothing

 

Just not that much to blog about lately

 

So I'll try and shade in some thoughts

 

It's a new year

in case you didn't know

As I get older I find that a New Year

isn't really a New Year....but a new number

2011, 2012, 2013

a new way of "charting things"

 

but....A NEW YEAR

might be something entirely different

focusing on more of a New You

in THAT year

(deep eh)

 

I have spent 61 New Years

the Date's have had little meaning as to the

way I have grown

spiritually and mentally and emotionally

they blend into one year from another sometimes, 

 

So, therefore

there are many Shades...30, 40, 50...or 61 in my case

of how a new year has affected you
polishing your experiences
sharpening your opinions

 

Time flies, that I KNOW

so trite, but so true

Those wings are flapping faster then I'd like sometimes

SLOW DOWN

 

the older you get, the quicker things change

for good...for bad...for better...for worse

(hmmm, was that a marriage vow?)

 

The tricky part

is that

it's EASY PEASY to deal with the good,

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

(yes I love Duck Dynasty)

 

and well, Better is just Better !!!

 

for Bad

harder...does it make you angry, bitter, what??

 

for Worse

now there's a doozy

worse, is well....just worse

 

Worse is where we get tested right to the core of who we are

WHO WE ARE
not so sure I have liked what I have found out about myself

I have been reading some of my journals over the years

and I have found a "pattern"

a pattern I want to change......somehow

 

Since Time Flies

I better get on it so I can see some accomplishments

in this place I want to be

Where I thought I'd be by now

WHO I thought I'd be by now

my dreams

my visions

my hopes

they don't always change over the years

just need a little altering

as reality hits you right in the schnoz

 

THIS year I suspect will be full of many

experiences for growth for me

(hopefully not in the waist line)

My parents are getting older and much more fragile

I am still in the process of  "building" my life here

children with dreams and aspirations of their own

grandchildren finding their way

moves

health

accidents

 

I don't know

NEW YEARS have surprises for all of us

I want to try and stay on top of it all

Like the country song

"I'm gettin' a little stronger all the time"

that's what I need to do

 

so

HAPPY NEW YEAR

for each and every one of you

a New YOU..in this new year

this calendar year

just a number

but WHAT does it hold for You

 

 

 

I'm gonna go for it

before I run out of numbers
