Delinquent Diva

Wow!! I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. Not that it really matters, it seems I'm the only one who ever reads these ramblings of an old lady.

A lot has been going on lately, not really anything to write home about, (or to blog about for that matter). So it seems that I have neglected my musings here. I had fully intended to share some sage wisdom after I had turned another year older. Appearantly I haven't gotten any wiser as I didn't share a thing.

So, now that my birthday has come and gone almost two weeks ago now, I have finally paused to jot down a few things that have been tumbling around my head....trust me there is plenty of room for tumbling up there.....hehehe.

Just what could someone of my advanced years have learned since my last birthday. Well, there are still a few things I have yet to learn.

But what I have learned, or perhaps what has been re-instilled in me is:

Don't sweat the small stuff, it usually takes care of it's self.
Stand up for what you believe no matter what the cost.
Love those you love even if they say they no longer love you. Eventually they realize they really do still love you.
Keep hope alive, even when it seem futile.
And, that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

There is still a fair amount of verbal acrobatics bouncing around my brain, but I think this is a good start. Another thing I have learned as I have gotten older is that everything is best in small doses. If you want more later you can always come back for seconds.

I'm hoping this year of my life will be a good one, that I'll have what I need. That my family will be near by and happy. And that I'll start to see some success. But what ever comes my way I know it'll be worth it.

I love Myle Cyrus' song "The Climb". It's so true and I have always felt that it isn't about where you are going or how you get there it's about the journey. The climb is what makes us who we are and what we will be. There's always going to be to be mountains in the way. But moving them won't add character and strength like the time it takes to climb the mountain.
