I have to say that this year has me completely discombobulated! From the weather to politics, everything seems twisted and upside down.
In the summer we actually had summer, but in the autumn we had winter and now here in early February it's spring.
We are in a new church after more than 20 years in the last one and are still feeling our way around the new one.
I'm 50, married 25 years...how did that happen?
I'm finally using the crock pot I bought 8 years ago, whyyyy?
This year I finally got tired of "Gilligan's Island" reruns.
I suddenly hate to cook.
Inexplicably I love foods that I used to hate and loathe life long favorites.
I've succumbed to social networking in spite of my hermit like nature.
There is a lot going on in my head, but I never seem to be able to call on it at the appropriate moment anymore.
I love to shop, but feel I have too much already.
I love to give, but nobody wants to exchange Christmas gifts any longer.
I hate to shop!
My friends "kids" are driving, getting married and having babies not my friends themselves!
For the first time ever, I found myself not wanting to put up a Christmas tree, and hoping it was a one time thing.
The stack of wood for the fireplace has hardly been touched so far this winter, which is no problem really as I live with my own personal summer most of the time.
After years of wanting antlers, I find myself overflowing in them the last few months....but that's OK, I still like them, just wondering why so many all of a sudden?
I now live in a nation who's government thinks that everyone needs a baby sitter instead of the other way around.
I hate politicking yet find myself pulled into it out of desperation.
I have to think about how to write a check as we now use plastic or electronics almost exclusively.
Time fly's when you want it to stop and stops when you do.
Sigh!
I find myself looking back 30 years and wondering what I'd think then if I could see me now?Would I be surprised that I actually have a dog and no acne, that Kent would have less hair and me more weight? Would I even understand the technology I'm using to write this (my laptop) watch TV and DVDs, navigate my iPhone, and read from my e-reader? Would I marvel at what the future me knows or ponder what I don't.
Would I be confused at my sense of discombobulation now? Or would I understand that there is just a lot more to understand?!
