just blabbing away here this evening

You know what?  I see all these people are looking at this ongoing monologue I have going on here yet no one ever says Hi.  Is that par for the course when you are a blogger.  I really have no idea.  I'd like you to say HI..........SMILE

For the longest time I didn't want to write about ME and MY life as I thought "Why bother?   Who really cares?".  Then I realized that I just wanted to write and you never know what can come out of a personal blog or diary or journal.  One of my blogs is destined to become a real book and I have no doubt in my mind that it won't simply because I have bought books like the one I am visualizing and this feels good.

This blog, however, does appear to be just me and my thoughts, which, in essence, is what "musings" is all about.  Every person has at least ONE story they could write, if they were motivated to do so.  I know that once I get started, there will be no stopping me.  I have come to the point in my life where if I do nothing else with my day, I HAVE to write something.   And I just realized that I have already started.

I have to admit that it really is a pain in the butt that I have to think of ways to make money as I just want to write all day - and go to the gym, wander around out in nature, listen to good music and eat yummy food.  Not much else - pretty simple life really...  But the money I have right now will not last as long as me, that's for sure, so on to the how to survive in the long run.

I have always been of the mind that the Universe would provide and to this point, there has never been a problem.  I am getting older and don't really envision some Prince Charming is going to come along on his trusty white steed and rescue me OR, perhaps, whisk me away on his yacht....or something.   And think about....this DOES happen to some people BUT, at the end of the day, I definitely do NOT need rescuing so I guess it is a moot point.

But, first things first...I need to find my own space from which to move forward.  My housemate doesn't even know if SHE is going to live in her home and is in the midst of her "life" so there is even more impetus to move forward.  Actually getting kind of excited about a new space, all on my own again.  And of course, since I have next to nothing in the way of household materials, I guess a shopping expedition will be coming up soon.  And we are not just talking about a new vase or something.  I have nothing.

I have a dear friend who LOVES to shop and she, for one, is very excited about going shopping to furnish my new space - whenever it appears.  We are talking about a bed, living room furniture, dining room, office desk, EVERYTHING for a kitchen.......yikes, could be costly.  But a fresh start for sure.

Bought a new laptop today as I have been using my housemate's PC for the past month or so.  So I can now be mobile.  Not that that has ever been a desire of mine as I do love to have an "office" space to write in but I do see tons of people in coffee shops sitting with their laptops "writing".  Oh well, guess I have to get into the 21st century one of these days

Anyway, enough nattering away here.  Have a joyous evening wherever you are.

Blessings to you all.
