recently i was digital scrappin with some friends far away from my house. i didn't have a picture that i really wanted at one particular moment. suddenly a lightbulb went off: my blog! maybe i put that picture on my blog and i can download it right now!
as a started scrolling back, back, back through the months looking for that picture, i found myself stopping and saying, "oh! i forgot all about that!" and then i'd read about it, and remember. more than once. and then another, dimmer, much less-enthusiastic, light-bulb went off: i have to not only KEEP doing this, but i need to rededicate myself to being better at it.
cause all the things i'd forgotten, but recorded, were things that i actually want to remember. and if i'd already forgotten those little things 2 years later, what sort of stuff will be completely gone in 10 years? what will i do in 11 years when i'm admitted to the assisted living home and my kids are too busy with 6th grade and cub scouts to visit everyday? THEN what will i do?? well....i am really good at wheel-of-fortune. i hope there are some other super-competitive 51 year olds there with me.....
so here i am, proclaiming my rededicateted-ness to the universe. i'm optimistic, but i do have to admit that the scrapbooking day that was the impetus for this goal was....in september. so.....
i hope you keep writing! i love reading what you have to say. and hey, do i only have one more year 'til i'm in the assisted living center? 51 is just half way there. remember you have alden's genes! sister hinckley said being 50 was her favorite age.
