Not been making much progress lately. Got my life in park somehow, and I'm still trying to figure out how to switch gears again. Not a bad place where I've parked. Many people have it worse. And I have a view. If that makes sense.
I've been talking to a friend of mine who has gone through therapy more times than he likes to admit. He thinks I need therapy. That I'm suffering a mid-life crisis without the money to buy a new car and attract a young blonde. Without a wife to divorce. Maybe he's right. I don't know.
Doesn't sound right to me, though. Not been through a mid-life crisis before--that I know of--so I don't know for sure, but it doesn't sound right. Shrug. Not sure of nomenclature matters as much as figuring out how to get out of park.
I can make lists. I do my lists for the most part. I feel productive, but are those checked items moving me toward any goal beyond the immediate? Maybe the immediate is all I can manage right now, but I remember that common bit of wisdom: if you don't know where you're going, how can you complain about where you end up?
Although I will complain. You can count on it.
This week, I plan:
- On doing chores.
- On taking more photos.
- On writing the program for the writers group meeting June 14.
- On writing and publishing the family June newsletter.
- On writing a story about the group book signing June 19 and sending it to the various media folks.
- On updating the writers group website.
That's a few good things. Longmire premieres tonight. I think it's one of the best shows on TV these days.
Have a great week!

Longmire was great!
Glad Longmire was great for you. On the bright side, while you're in Park, you won't be careening off any cliffs -- unless the land collapses from beneath you. It's a good place to assess what you are doing and plan the next leg of your journey.
Lists are good things, but they aren't as rewarding when checking things off the list aren't moving you toward a greater goal. I'm praying for you and that you'll find your direction.
Park is a good place to assess the past as it regards the future, and it's a safe place to dream. At least when you're still you don't have to backtrack! And from where I am now, I can tell you parks are lovely, especially this time of year. The grass is nice and green, and there's shade to sit it, maybe some swings to swing on. I miss swings. I should go find some. Maybe you should go find some, too. :-)
