bah humbug

Thank you all for your birthday wishes and greetings. They made my day (and week). I want to write, so I sat down and started because I knew that there would be no other way that I could put up a new post. Unfortunately I don't actually have a subject or topic to write about. Last week, I was going to write about job worries, because my employer was seemingly putting all his eggs into one basket, and the future of that basket was very uncertain. But then before I actually put my thoughts into words, I heard the news that he had actually gotten the job, so now that is a moot subject. If I had sat down earlier today and written I would have put down many dark and depressing thoughts and emotions. But I didn't want to send out dark and depressing posts that others would read and maybe have it rub off on them. Also I knew that it was due in a large part of simply a lack of sleep, and I didn't want to give weight to things that didn't deserve it. So now I'm at an impass.

However, being who I am, I shall muster what courage I can, offer up a NEVERTHELESS and keep going. As much fun as riding a motorcycle is, there comes a point where you have to accept that seasons change and hang up your gear for the winter. That day for me was Sunday. After church on Sunday I went to my pastors house for lunch and a playdate with his kids, and then walked down to my brothers and took off on his bike. Helmet, jacket, jeans, and boots, but I forgot to grab my gloves. It was less than ten minutes later that I turned around and headed back to put them on. It was just to cold without them. Even with them, I didn't stay out much longer as it simply wasn't comfortable enough to make it worth it. It will just have to wait for next year, I guess. Maybe then I'll have my own. I'll admit to wanting one more and more.

Does anyone have a scanner that they want to sell me? I have a bunch of pics that I want to put on my computer, with no way to do it at present. Last several times I've looked in office stores all they have had are multi funtion machines which I don't want. So if you have one you're looking to get rid of, let me know and we can talk.
Hey, what do you know? I just finished writing a post. I knew if I got started something would happen. :)

Worsely, WAY TO KEEP GOING with that NEVERTHELESS attitude! I appreciate your overcomingness! I think it's so valuable to realize that yes, sometimes things are dark, but sometimes they seem even darker when we don't have the rest we need...or whatever...Hope you're having a good day.

I have two scanners and one is like the Cadillac of scannerdom.

HOWEVER

neither belong to me.

Sorry.

Way to keep trucking, W.C., I bet some of your positiveness will rub off on someone.

Amazing what happens when you just sit down to write, eh? :-)
