The amazing town I live in, which despite its rapid growth and development and large transient population relating to the University, manages to maintain a small community environment. The community members are involved and care. We all more or less know each other, at least we have usually only two degrees of separation from each other if we are strangers. There are leaders that everyone recognizes. We are a unique blend of citizens-an overeducated town compared to others but with an old farming contigent that fights to survive in today's climate of development. La Vista seems ok. It is pretty interesting here.
I need a story to distract myself and change my mood. Where should I pull from?
I was rereading old writings in my frenzied cigarette-less state. I am surprised that I think my journals have shelf lives. The writings from early gamer years, are painful. Everything seems so obvious in retrospect and I think I overreacted to everything, even if I still believe that is my way in general. Meanwhile, I'm okay with reading post-dark ramblings. Maybe I'm not in the mood to storytell but I am willing to compromise. It's so cold outside when I actully do manage to man up and go outside for a cigarette..
Life is good overall, it is all about the little things. I enjoy the smiles of my son, and hearing him laugh as he grows. It is fasinating to watch him learn new things everyday.
This is a picture taken in september 2010. I took recent pictures but I have to find my camara cord to upload to the computer. Donovan just turned one on December 4th, and is already growing so quickly. Where did the time go? Seriously!! I blinked and a year made it by without hesitation. Christmas is coming up again, and I am still debating what to get him for christmas toy wise as I wish to buy him a toy with the bunch of colthes I got him. I think one toy is enough as I know what is in the other boxes santa wrapped last night.
