Almost a year since I began this little blog and although I don't always post as often as I should, it's the other things that consume large amounts of my time. As for writing, it is something I thoroughly enjoy. At times the swirling thoughts have a hard time coming together, one usually wants to get top billing before the first one is done speaking, kind of rude and exactly the way I project, not the rudeness, just the thoughts. "Get it straight" laments the Egg-Nazi, "let your brain get it all together, then open your mouth!" So I try.......and even the mouth doesn't listen to me!
Dear friend Glenn is in the processing of publishing this little blog into a book.........he does have my eternal love and admiration in accepting this challenge. A challenge it is but even more challenging is he needs my bio! Challenging for Mr. Cheney, yikes! scary for me. It also makes me realize how long I've been around, so hopefully it will be a bio not an obit! Being a part of so many organizations, groups, committees and owning a successful business, definitely asks questions concerning my sanity. Am I a glutton for punishment, insane, do I suffer from A.D.D. (attention deficit disorder), or am I really a multi-tasker? Please Richard, refrain from answering, I alone question my sanity. Would I do it all again....oh absolutely! Would I change anything, any part, any moment? Adamantly....NO! I can now sit back, smile and no one knows why. Within my heart lies a certain sense of accomplishment, no regrets just the yearning to do and be more, no resting on my so-called "laurels", which would probably develop into much larger "laurels" if allowed the time to just "ponder"!
Nurturing my children must top my list of accomplishments...it is probably the one part of my life that has and will always have my full attention. Hmmm, a flash tells me most of what I've done with my life was for my family! It still is because I don't think I have a selfishness that wants it to be for just me....I enjoy sharing. I must of played well in the sand box as a kid........my loving and devoted Sister might disagree....the only time she pissed me off, really, was when she'd "borrow" clothes. I never really understood that though, she was tall, lanky and so slender. I was short and dumpy so "what could she have possible borrowed?" Was it that thing called "a figment" or was it just being sisters, in any case, no regrets!
Upon leaving Connecticut, I promised myself, "do something for me." Stupid promise though, I have always done things for me, so the question is, what? If compiling up accomplishments and sharing those with the ones you love, makes you happy, then I have been doing that for myself, all of my adult life. This attitude was developed as a result of loving nurturing parents, that as a couple were really "one".
My smugness (is that a word? If not, let it be mine) is nothing more than an inner peace. Whatever I set my mind upon and my sights on, I can do. I hope I have relayed that to my children, if it something you want, your inner being yearns for it, then go for it. It is my hope we (my family) have left some sort of legacy in the little Town of Sprague or at least some G-damn great memories. Our move to Florida has allowed me to start stockpiling more. The Egg-Nazi, rests on his "laurels" not always by choice, he is now "Mom and the boys" biggest cheerleader. Ain't that a pisser, as long as he doesn't wear cheerleading attire!
So as I sit down and begin writing my bio, I will try not to procrastinate. Glenn would like to have it all done and published in time for the Sprague Historical Society celebration. The little book will put a "HYSTERICAL" touch on a historical celebration. Citizens of this Town and it's neighbors provided me and mine with a successful life, filled with cherished and not so cherished memories. They are a quirky cast of characters and are a diverse bunch. These people have filled my life with mostly happy memories, some ended much to soon. I am fortunate and proud to know each one. Fred's News may have been "A Constant Place", it's Cast of Characters will always be a "Constant Part of My Life."
