I Was At Woodstock - Anyway It Felt Like Woodstock

My husband and I got to go to concert one week ago. The line-up was Richie Havens, Judy Collins, Crosby, Stills and Nash. I had so much fun.

Anyway, the lady sitting beside me started to get excited too when C,S,&N started singing. We wanted to charge the stage. These guys can still sing and Stephen Stills was amazing on the guitar.

Too bad God didn't design us to go back in time and visit every once in a while.

Enjoy a little of the past with me. 1969 at Woodstock.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzF_MoXOU1E&feature=related

Reading Shannon

I am reading the book Shannon by Frank Delaney. Actually, I'm listening to the audio book. Anyway, tonight I pulled in to the driveway right as the book was about to end. I was miserable. Should I sit in the car and listen to the rest or save the ending for my trip to work in the morning. I decided to save it. Anyway, I hope the ending is explosive and not simply like the blowing out of a candle. When a book leads me to believe there is going to be a some great climax, but the author decides to wind up all the loose ends in 2-3 sentences, I get really mad.

Crossing my fingers that by 9:00 in the morning I will say, "What a great book."

Just Sitting

Always looking forward keeps you mentally busy and can be really tiresome. For some reason I've been under the impression that I will always have enough time in my life to do the things I want to do, so the planning in my head never stops. Growing older never seemed real, but now reality is setting in. I'm not that old, but boy does every day get a little harder.

I wonder about those people who are just sitting on their porch as you drive by in the country. They're not reading a book, not texting, not watching tv, and they don't look like they're getting ready to get up and go anywhere. Just sitting. They might raise their hand for a wave when they see someone pass by or on the other hand, there may be no indication that they notice anyone or anything around them. How do they do it? Maybe they're exhausted from hard work like everyone else, but they have sense enough to know when to recognize the need to stop pushing and call it a day.

I bet when you are able to sit and relax without constant interference, the days seem a little longer and the years don't whiz by. A sitters life might seem 20 or 30 years longer than one of the busy bees who must always be in motion. An extra 20 or 30 years might not be too bad, so maybe someday I'll stop and ask for a lesson in just sitting. It might not be easy, but I'm teachable.

Amazed

I am amazed by the fact that through blogs, Facebook, online games, Twitter, etc. it is possible to communicate with people near and far, quickly and often. How wonderful to live in a time when it is possible to share common interests with someone thousands of miles away, someone that you will probably never meet in person.

To those of you who have read my blog, thank you for spending time listening to the result of a mind that wanders often. It is also fun for me to read about your day, how faith is so important to your life, about your growing children and grandchildren, good reads, lovely pictures, and all the other joys that are shared.

Keep reading and writing and I will try to do the same.

Toast

I just ate toast for supper. That's right. Toast. When I can't think of anything else or the idea of other foods makes me a little queasy, I go to my old standby. My closest friends know this "is" or at least "is one" of my favorite things to eat.

Could I be more boring?

Feeling Good

Today is a good day.

It is the first day of spring and a time of opportunity.

I am so happy to say that my life will be changing soon and for the better. Woo Hoo!!!!!!

2010 Travels

Another new year and I slept through the festivities because I have been sick for a week. Anyway, I'm happy to look forward to the coming events of this year. Some travel plans so far...

I'm heading to Florida at the end of this month for work. The days aren't confirmed yet.

I hope to go to Atlanta sometime this month or the first of February. I miss my friend there a lot so as soon as I feel better, I'm going.

In June I'm going to take my mom to Iowa for the 2010 Capitol Heights reunion. The gang from Capitol Heights grew up together during the 30's 40's 50's and though many have moved away or passed away, there is still excitement as they meet at the United Methodist Church they attended as children. Can't wait to go and hear the stories about my mom, aunt, and uncles.

In July I will undoubtedly go to The Upper Room's yearly gathering called "Soulfeast." A week of singing, worship, and workshops in the North Carolina mountains. Since I'm a worker bee I don't get to the workshops, but it is still a time for me to grow spiritually. Even though it is a great deal of much work for so many people it is worth it. The event is open to people of all denominations, adults and children.

July will be the maiden voyage for my husband, brother, sister-in-law and myself to begin taking 1-2 trips a year to various ball parks in the US. It is my brother's dream to see them all so we begin in Chicago. Should be fun and I plan to take an architectural tour. I've only been to Chicago once and took the buildings tour. Now I want to see various neighborhoods. Yes!

My husband would love to go back to Las Vegas. We had fun in November, so I think shooting for another November trip should be in the plans.
