Random Thoughts on a Wednesday
I have been going through my blog and editing and deleting posts and getting it cleaned up and ready to be printed.
Not that I am done blogging.
Fear not!
But I do want to print out the Spinster Years.
Maybe for Christmas.
Anyway, its so funny to remember the last 7 years and the little stories I forgot and pictures I haven't looked at in years.
I would say a few common themes have emerged in this blog over the last 7 years.
I tend to do best with "Random Thought" posts.
My mind resists themed or one subject posts.
I am 100% the HAPPIEST in Fall.
Every single fall, my posts become filled with happiness and excitement and a million pictures and goals and just life.
For every amazing fall, almost every summer is clearly depressing.
My posts are apathetic and pointless.
I say "Is summer over yet?" at the end of practically every post.
I write like someone with a lot of underlying, barely concealed insecurities.
Frequently apologizing for rambling posts, seeking laughs or approval in blog tributes and weird immature jokes.
On a related note...
The two biggest changes since the beginning of this blog are:
increased self confidence
and
falling out of the aunt role I loved so much.
Maybe it's been the last year.
Almost dying.
Losing Lily Jane.
Finding Rich.
Accepting certain things I could never accept before.
I am stronger and be calm and confident about who I am as a person than I have ever been.
And, as much as I love being 'Aunt Lori' I respect that my sister had to set boundaries for herself and do what she thought was best for her children.
I miss them though.
60 days until the wedding!!
Lori Ann
