yes, i know, i'm slipping and missing and i'm still going to call

...this one 51/365. because the guidelines say it's ok.

this weekend has been a blur of inactivity which 'round heah means a lot of thinking and or writing was going on. (also, a lot of really good cooking) i'd almost prefer physical work because there's a beginning, a middle and an end. when it's some thing being done or made in real time right in front of you, you see what's happening and have a reasonable expectation of saying the right thing or responding appropriately. when all the activity is going on inside someone's head, you haven't a clue. i mean, the MITM is still here physically, but mentally, he is so somewhere else. you'd think after all this time i'd be used to it, but nay nay, i am aware of what's going, i know the process, but, used to it? nope, i'm always surprised when it happens and it takes a minute before i remember that it's not about me, has nothing to do with me and there's nothing for me to do about it.  by now, all y'all must know that the MITM is a loving and generous husband, father and friend, so don't misunderstand any of this. i'm not complaining, just sort of emptying my head a bit today.  

i know i'm talking about all of this because it's easier.  

talking about the little problems/issues/concerns is always easier than trying to articulate the BIG THINGS that make you wonder why, sweet mary sunshine, is (you can fill in this blank yourself) happening?  

keep on truckin, mama! isn't that what we used to say?  keep your eye on the prize!  that's the one that seems the most difficult at times and yet, the one that keeps me moving forward daily. i'm sure all y'all have sayings that give comfort and inspire that you've heard all your life.  there is a reason we remember  them, that our mamas and daddies and grandmas and grandpas said them as we were growing up.  what was it? what is it? right now, i don't remember and i'm hoping it's just a temporary brain freeze because i need the comfort of old words today.

*sigh*

on a much happier note, Big Shelly and Miss K are on the road again!  yep, our BFF's are motoring again and i wish we could have hit the road with them! check out sanibel, florida and raise a glass to those two wild and crazy guys!
