My Blog Is Weak

Image
But I noticed alot of people's blogs have gotten weak. Some have not. I have a lot of reasons for the weakness; I can't decide to load my pics on laptop or computer (because I've lost pics on both), I'd rather not sit at the computer because the chair is not ergonomically correct, yet the laptop's cursor freezes up and it gets SOOOO hot on my lap and my hands, and I have to PLUG my camera in and LOAD the pics are you kidding me? that takes forEVER, plus commenting and correlating the pics is becoming beyond my mental capabilities, not to mention to finish and complete an entire thought. And by the time I FIND where I put the pics on said computers I've forgotten who I was with, where we were, and what we were doing so I'd just have to make something up anyway. It would be nice to do and to have for journaling I admit, but.... a couple of things; to scribe a quick thought or pic on facebook from my PHONE nontheless has become far too accessible and convenient. Not quite the personal journalizing as blog, but HEY, it's a new day and age. I'm hoping for the new day and age to bring the quick convenience of facebook to personal journal keeping of a blog. How hard is it?? I'm going to throw a pic any pic in here just for kicks.

Ive got something to say....

We moved. But any facebookers already know that. We are like a ship on the seas of life, getting tossed around, and I'm thinking, we're a little sea sick. I'm usually unsettled being settled, but I'm starting to wonder what being settled would be like. And my question is, aren't you supposed to love where you finally settle? Most things about it at least? Or is that another one of those made up sayings? I feel like when I finally am settled, I'll just know that it is right, regardless if its perfect or not. Kinda like knowing who to marry, you just "know"! So no, I don't feel settled just yet. So...we wait.

We've had a few memorable trips. Ill just add the pics later. I love going on family trips with my boys. Its like when they are babies and you watch their amazement and discovery of life, its like that in bigger form! They latch on to the new place and experience so excitedly. It makes me want to open up more vacation with them, and fast, cuz Ive heard the "when grow older then...." Stories, and they are like nightmares that you know you can't get out of. But great eras always come with each age of kids.

I have more to say but Im aiming for 2 o' clock bedtime.

Logan Update

I got sick of seeing my life long creed, so I decided to add a Logan update for my viewing pleasure...

YES, the rumors about the inversions here ARE TRUE!!! I didn't beleive it when I first heard it either, I mean, I lived in Rexburg for years, how bad could it be right? Well, they also say it goes away for the other seasons as well, so I'll take their word for it and look forward to it.

YES, the shock of having moved is disappating.

NO, I have not found comparable friends to my SLC friends. They are quite a rare bread like that of the wild Iberian lynx.

A Motto: Animals develop principles that develop character in people.

YES, this house has been listed on the MLS, and after looking I think if I want something more suitable than this, I'd have to build it. That doesn't mean we're staying nor going nor buying nor building. It just is. I don't love it, hate it, want to move, don't want to, I am quite neutral.

It's been 6 months of living here. I weekly to bi-weekly go to SLC to see Salt Lake and friends, and bi-monthly go to Pocatello to see the fam. I've considered getting a Toyota Prius or a SmartCar, but realized I couldn't possibly part with the gold mini-van with all the memories of sticky spilt capri suns, baked in mud and sand and dirt, and crammed in crackers of every kind, and artistic scribbles and scratches, and nicely wedged in gummy worms holding small lego pieces in their places forever and ever. No one would ever appreciate the stale musty aroma that holds so many precious drives with the fam, like I do. Nor could they cherish the duct taped bumper and epoxied door and have it remind them that we are all human and backing up with the door open and a pole in the way could happen to any average amount of us. And as they drove at night with the headlights oozing with mildew, fog, and some sort of fungi blocking out the light from shining, they'd probably lack the faith to trust their own instincts and keen sense of direction to get them through the dark night. Like I always say, follow the stars, and if it's too cloudy, maybe it's time to buy new headlights. See, so I think it's best suited for me and the boys for now.

No, I still don't like to cook, and yes, I still like to eat. I'm outta of ideas, that last one took it outta me. Hasta 3-6 months.

One of my Creeds for Life

I have embrassed a few creeds in my short life, that I have had for years and years. They have stood the test of time from my immature years starting from pre-mission, pre-kids, pre-marriage, even until my current mature stage(?) in life. This has been one of the top creeds that have helped me to accept life as it comes and try to rise above the hard times and see the forest for the trees.

To 'let go' does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can't do it for someone else.

To 'let go' is not to cut myself off,
it's the realization I can't control another.

To 'let go' is not to enable.
but to allow learning from natural consequences.

To 'let go' is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To 'let go' is not to try to change or blame another,
It's to make the most of myself.

To 'let go' is not to 'care for',
but to 'care about'.

To 'let go' is not to fix,
but to be supportive.

To 'let go' is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.

To 'let go' is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.

To 'let go' is not to be protective,
it's to permit another to face reality.

To 'let go' is not to nag, scold, or argue,
but to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To 'let go' is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in it.

To 'let go' is not to criticize and regulate anybody,
but to try to become what I dream I can be.

To 'let go' is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

To 'let go' is to fear less,
and to love more.
