Time

Time is fleeting.   I admit it, I'm one of those people who hate the change in time.   I can get with it.   I have to get with it, but I hate it.  

I'm wearing a sweet shirt I bought right now.  Right this minute.   You know, sweet to me.  Probably not to others.   It has like a flared collar and flowing sleeves.   My brother sent me a photo of him and I holding a rattlesnake in 1978 at the Waurika Ratttlesnake Hunt -- yes, there are things like that in Oklahoma.

But the shirt I'm wearing in that photo has the same flared collar and flowing sleeves.   I'd almost say it was cut from the same pattern, but that was 1978.   It couldn't be.  Or could it???

Whoa!!   The passage of time does scare me.  I think I'm scared of time going into the future almost as scared I am of frogs.   Yes.  Frogs.   Dude, those things are scary.   They, like, jump when you least expect it.   The beady little eyes they have.   Ugh!!!  They're scaring me right now writing this.

I think of my children and how things were for us and then how they will be for them and my grandchildren to come.   DID YOU HEAR THAT BOYS??!!!   GRANDCHILDREN!

Hahaha!.  I'm funny.   I can hear them laughing at me now.   Saying, "Wow, you've wasted all of our TIME by writing this post."  That's okay.   It needed to be said.   Some of the things that time brings are not great.  Some are.   But....

Until next time.

Me.

THINKING by Walter Wintle

https://www.yowbaby.com/ IF YOU THINK YOU ARE BEATEN, YOU ARE; IF YOU THINK YOU DARE NOT, YOU DON'T. IF YOU'D LIKE TO WIN, BUT THINK YOU CAN'T, IT'S ALMOST A CINCH YOU WON'T. IF YOU THINK YOU'LL LOSE, YOU'RE LOST; FOR OUT OF THE WORLD WE FIND SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A FELLOW'S WILL; IT'S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE OUTCLASSED, YOU ARE; YOU'VE GOT TO THINK HIGH TO RISE. YOU'VE GOT TO BE SURE OF YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN EVER WIN THE PRIZE. LIFE'S BATTLES DON'T ALWAYS GO TO THE STRONGER OR FASTER MAN; BUT SOON OR LATE THE MAN WHO WINS, IS THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN!

"I DON'T KNOW"

That's the words that were ringing tonight at what I was expecting to be a reprieve from all the madness I keep experiencing.  You see, I'm a square dancer.  I'm a court reporter.  I'm a caretaker.  I'm a musician. I'm a really big dreamer.  Lately, I feel like a loser.   So no matter how well-meaning everyone was, going to our club dinner and having everyone ask, "Where do you work at now?", well, it just sucked. Tomorrow is my 48th birthday and I'm still here with my grandmother helping her out.  Or is she helping me out.  I tell you, when I first arrived here from El Paso, I was not me.  It was such a horrible time in my life. My whole world had crumbled and here I was in a situation I'd never dream of, of having to take care of my 91-year-old grandmother who, as it turned out, was not the grandmother I had always thought she was.  I guess that can go both ways.  Maybe I ended up changing to her and she could say the same thing...

WHAT A TRIP!!

Sometimes I wonder about myself.  I don't know what it is, but during my daily routine when things happen, they're very entertaining. I went to San Diego on Thursday.  Yuppers, flew from Lawton again.   Yes, Lawton's flights get cancelled all the time.  It's not the outgoing flight that's the problem, but the return flight.  Which, yeah.  It did.  It got cancelled on the way back from this trip, also.   However, this time they gave me a hotel.  Usually, I end up spending the night in the airport.  Three times I've done that.  Not cool. Not cool at all.  You'd think I would have learned by now, nope.  Plus, the airport is sooo convenient distancewise so I keep going back for more.  So, yes, I did it again. I flew from Lawton. I'm on the 10:10 morning flight. Boarding time is 9:40.  We're good.  No worries. I got this.  I did have a busy night getting ready with all the normal stuff, plus throwing in ...
