It's Monday April 30, 2012. How strange it is that growing up the year 2012 never entered my mind. In a hundred years there will be family looking at our geneaology and thinking wow she was born during the Vietnam war and she lived through a big depression and that list will go on. It will seem so far from them as it is for me to think of my relations being born in the 1800's. How strange our time will seem to them.

2012
When I was a child I never thought of time. Other than when I could get to the barn to ride Sassy time had no meaning. Now I sit here and it's 2012. I think to my relations before and wonder if they too watch a new century roll in and hit 12 years more. What did they see and do? What were their hopes and dreams for that time of their lives? We can look back and say oh in 1900 this happened and in 1912 this happened. For us living in this time it new and maybe not so shiny. Think of those living through the Civil War and they come out on the other side to a changing country. Those who lived through the Revolutionary War (and every war that has been fought on US soil)and you wonder what they would have thought about 2012. Could they conceive what this country would be?
I'm sure that people thought there were changes needing to be made but with all the social media we can share these thoughts with others. Those people may agree or disagree with what we feel but we share anyway. The world seems much smaller now. I can chat with a person on the other side of the world as if they were sitting at a table with me. Countries that seemed so distant are now close because we share. The people can talk and they don't have the politicians saying what they want us to hear. We can hear it from the people in those countries. Yes, there will be people who are negative about what they are experiencing even if it's not bad but that is okay. This is the inside of the people and we can share it now.
I'm sure this social media stuff has all government uneasy because now we aren't dependent on the media for information. We can hear from personal experience of others. Yes they are worried what could happen. I guess they never thought that a revolution could happen again but of course it could. It could have happened back in the 1700's. I don't know where the country is headed but to some it's headed to hell in a handbasket. For me I'm not sure if it's good or bad.
The economy, well it sucks to be truthful. It is the politicians fault for letting big companies in and take control. It's their fault because they no longer work for us but for their future which doesn't include the rest of us. Do I believe in redistribution of wealth? Hell no. I do however believe that we should all be on a level playing field. Say if the average person pays 10% of their worth then so should those who are rich. No one should be allowed to hide their money with the loopholes that the government chooses not to close. I think we should have term limit so they don't get so comfortable that they forget who put them in office. Oh wait yes they remember and that's why they pass laws that will help the big companies. How silly of me to forget. I do love my country. I don't like the politicians who are trying to destroy it. No I don't follow a party line. I could careless about that but I do want the best person for the job. It's not really too much to ask for, is it?

Here it is December 29, 2011 and I'm at my computer listening to the Beatles Abbey Road. That is such a great album. Things haven't changed much over the years I guess. Other than I'm married and happy to be with Chuck. It's been fun and annoying getting use to his habits. haha Right now my lower back is killing me and I don't know why. Actually my whole body has some pains. They aren't severe or even really bad but they are annoying. I should start doing yoga I think. Enough for me today.

Always Changing
Yes life is always changing. Me, sometimes I feel I haven't changed at all that I'm stuck in a place in my life. I don't mean in a bad way just I don't feel any growth.
Matt, the oldest has been doing pretty well at his job and making a good living. I love that man and he probably doesn't realize how much. He is sometimes distant and seems to be embarrassed by the attention I give him so I try not to make a huge public display.
Michael, the youngest is now at his duty station but still stateside. That will change this next year. Last time I wrote I told of his having two fractures in his legs. Now he has a broken arm. Luckily it is healing properly. He wasn't happy they put a cast on his left arm. He is doing well. I miss him so much.
Chuck, my love is doing good. I know he misses the beach and he is so good to be patient with me.
Mom is doing well but getting old as she says. I still don't think of her as being old though. Heck I'm at the age that I never thought of her as being. She recently had to have her dog Big Girl put down.
Gay is doing better but nothing has changed as far as the divorce. She is starting to come out of her shell some.
Me, I'm getting older and I have hurts that I've never had before. My left index finger has recently started telling me about the weather. Not happy about that. I feel the age thing creeping up on me. It's raising it's ugly head to stare me in the face.
I miss not having money to do what ever I want to do. I mean the bills are paid and food on the table but just goofying off money. Things are getting better and will continue too. That's what I believe.
Signing off. I'm going to try and do this everyday. We'll see if I can.

It's been almost a year since I've posted. Time flies when nothing is happening. Real estate has crashed and I haven't sold anything in forever. I have given great consideration to giving up on the career. What's the point if I'm not making any money?
It's close to Chuck and my 2nd anniversary. However we've been in ea`h others lives since March 16th of 2005.
Michael joined the Army and has two fractures and still hasn't made it out to be considered a soldier. I hate the thought of him ever being deployed but I want him to do what is right for him. I want him to do what he wants with his life. It's been a tough road with this.

Just an update, a real one
It's been a while, as usual, since I've updated this blog. Heck the past post wasn't really a post. It was just filler.
This year has seen some things happen. I got married in March. March 30th to be exact. We got tired of people saying have you gotten married yet so we went ahead and did it. We went to the courthouse and stood in front of the judge and took our vows. It felt strange, like it wasn't something necessary. I guess because we both had already decided we were married. This just made it legal. Chuck's a sweetie and I'm glad that he is in my life. I'm still not always sure when he is joking though.
Let's see, I left Keller Williams and now work with Hutson Realty. Hutson isn't as money driven as KW is. Not that I have anything against KW at all but I felt like they were always trying to get money from me. I'm not the only one who has said this though.
I'm considering doing something else with my life. I've yet to find the thing that is my passion. Sometimes I feel like I have no passion for anything. Nothing seems to really speak to me. Then I had this thought the other day. Growing up I was never driven to do anything. Now I look and see all these things that would have been so cool to do for a living. Most of those things are out of my health range now. I want to do something, something meaningful to me. That's as far as I get though. I just don't know that that something is.
