Day One

I figure if I just start, things may eventually make sense to me. Writing I can do...figuring out who my "team members" are -- now that's a challenge. WHAT??? And what does "monetize" mean? I've heard it's good to use your brain to keep it alive. So I am doing brain exercises here, I guess.

I am a list maker. Here is a list of stuff I've been reflecting on lately.

1. Church. Why?
2. I miss being a mom of pre-college kids, you know, the kind that live with you.
3. I miss Minnesota, and the following: book group, scrapbooking with Becki, et al, women's retreat, going out with my friends, my old OA group on Tuesday nights, my old job and co-workers, the neighborhood, Sherrie, etc., etc.
4. Tacoma is feeling less alien to me lately.
5. Husband and I need to get out more. Importance of fun.
6. OK, that's enough extension time, now get those taxes done and in.
7. I wonder what it would be like to have a blog?
8. Returning to OA -- would be a good thing.
9. Why are movies so darned lousy these days?
10. Who uses the word "darned" anymore???!!!
11. My extended family -- how I will regret it if I do not make more of an effort to be in touch.
12. The past and how present it is for me all the time.

Husband thinks I have/am ADD. I just know that I am always thinking of multiple things/ideas, and I think really really fast and move ahead, like a skipping stone, to new topics/thoughts. I'm sure this is frustrating for him, but it feels normal to me. I guess I thought everybody was like that, but now I know that we each have our own ways of processing and it's OK. OK, dear?
