Up, down, up,
When I up, down, touch the ground
It puts me in the mood
Up, down, touch the ground
In the mood for food I am stout round, and I have found
Speaking poundage wise
I improve my appetite
When I exerciseI am short, fat and proud of that
And so with all my might
I up, down, and up and down
To my appetite’s delight!

Or Happy Thursday to those outside the U.S.! The above is a tribute to a fictional character who I once thought had the right attitude towards weight loss and food. It’s still cute, but not very healthy.
I’m thankful that I had to actually locate something that I hadn’t used in so long I had completely lost track of where it was. After sitting in my thinking spot for a bit, I finally remembered where it was, and was able to find….my umbrella! We actually got a nice rain today, here in Georgia. We need about another week os showers just like that since we’re still at least 15 inches below on the year.
Forgive me if I don’t personally respond to the avalanche of comments below. It really was useful to see the various comments and compare different reasons for staying one and not going dark. I think I fall in the category of blogging as sort of therapeutic. I would (and do) write anyway. In fact, there are many time a post never even get published because I don’t have the time to properly edit or finish it out. But I like the feedback, and even the snarky comments serve their purpose.
I think I have many themes that are fair enough game for blogging material that Arwyn could care less about. But my relationship with her is the overarching one that has always been the pervasive and constant. I would be interested to read her side of the story if she ever cared to write it, but she is not a writer. She’s not much of a talker, either.
We have had a Talk about some issues, but I’m not sure it will result in anything. That’s one of those unfinished posts that may not see the light of day. And that is the frustrating thing because we do have these skirmishes but nothing decisive. Even if it looks decisive, it really isn’t.
So anyone reading this for the past couple years has to be feeling a lot of frustration over that lack of movement. There’s no plot development here! As the principal character, I’m certainly feeling a lot of that, even though I have other parts of my life that never do get published.
So I’m going to continue to blog when the mood hits, but I’m really and truly looking to move things along somehow. That’s really what I want: some sort of resolution to this story!
So that’s what I’m going to be working on. I am going to work on resolving this relationship story line to a point where it isn’t the biggest issue, anymore. I suppose a disaster could come along and completely turn things upside down– That’s NOT what I’m looking for! I just tire of the Talking and then Nothing. That just isn’t working for me. So I’m taking some small (but significant) steps to see if I can move things along. I may end up dumping those unpublished posts here once I have some movement on that score, but until then they are just frustrated ventings.
Thanks to all of you for reading and contributing! I’m thankful for the dedicated folks who still stick around.
