CONFESSIONS

Dad and I enjoy a visit with Carol between counseling appointments.  I think maybe she was practicing on us!  Good news the turkey has arrived at their home and everyone is invited and will come when they can.

I now have to glance at the headlines of the paper to know what day it is.  I often have a week of Saturdays.

I sometimes get out of the wrong side of bed and stay that way all day.

It was wild and windy Thursday night but I slept through the racket but was wide awaken when the power went off and there was no sound.

I do not have many claims to fame but I can cook a 30 minute brownie in 20 minutes.  Being gluten free helps.

I pick up the colorful leaves and put them in books and then forget them.  I also pick up pretty rocks for around our ponds.  Some times I think some have gone missing maybe people have picked them up from my place.

Several years ago I had life all figured out, the meaning of life and my purpose here but now I have forgotten both.

I once drove over the border to the states not once but twice getting on the wrong road and finding myself back in Canada.  I had a friend with me.

Do not ask me for directions I will tell you the wrong way every time; except in Hawaii.

I have let myself be talked into tasks I was not qualified for, like being president of church council.

Fortunate the church is still standing and carrying on.

I sang in the choir until I was asked to leave and I was tempted to say I have sung in much better and bigger choir.  I bit my tongue.  Actually it was suggested I turn the pages for the organist instead of singing and that could have been an even bigger disaster.  The whole book would go flying on the stand in my enthusiasm to do it right.

I think of things to write all day and I write on bits of paper even old envelopes and all over our day timer and mix up our appointment days in the scribbling.

I sometimes laugh too loud and at the wrong times.

I cry when I watch a sad movie or hear a sad song.

I have been with a group of people wanting to ask a question which I believe to be stupid and am so happy when some one else asks it.  They are looked on with awe as others think what a bright question.

I still make plans every morning and often they do not work out but often it is because something better comes along.

I rescued  our youngest son when he was drowning at the beach and also our oldest son when he sat on an ants nest. 

I have put out fires before the fireman came.

Yes I am determined to enjoy life even when it confuses me!
