*Finally*

Totally NOT a Summer or warm weather person!

I have a few thoughts to share.

Please read on,....

Yes, I'm terrible when it comes to maintaining my blogs.

I'm not even going to apologize
or try to come up with excuses for it anymore.

Truth is, I get busy with other idle projects and never get back to my blogging, 

(as much as I'd really like to).

I had high hopes for this particular blog.

That's why I used Snoopy's pix for it -
 I really want it to reflect who I am, where I've come from
and maybe even where I'm going.

But I have no idea where where I'll be in a month from now,

 let alone a year fro now or longer.

I'm "flying by the seat of my pants" these days

 and where I'll end up is anyone's guess.

When it comes to where I've come from, there's plenty I can write about.

I'm adopted, (before I was born), a survivor of domestic violence and suicide,

 (my 27 year old son, Douglas, took his life in 2006),
 have battled homelessness, (and still am),
raised 5 children, (as a single parent with ZERO child support)),

have been married twice, and the list goes on and on,...

But right now I'm just happy that summer is OVER and Fall is here!

September really zoomed by and it amazes me we're into October already.

I really DETEST Summer
and I'm not all that thrilled with Spring either
I do enjoy gardening very much so Spring has it's merits.

Mainly I just can't stand any kind of hot or humid weather, 

(which anything over 75 degrees is too hot for me).

Even as a kid, I always wanted to be inside during summer. 

I could never understand how all the kids in the neighborhood
 liked  running around in the heat all day long.

There's a lot I'd like to do this Fall.

Keeping up with this blog isn't exactly at the top of that list

but I will try to post more than I have been.

I feel like I complain far too much about my life and I need to be more positive.

So, I decided my next post will be a project I am calling -

100 Good Things.

I'll be listing a full 100 good things about my life 

and we'll see how long it takes me to do it.

The first 50 will probably be easy enough but I have a feeling

the last 50 will turn out into quite the daunting task.

But I'm willing to give it a shot!
