Where do some of the things that come into my head come from? I realize that while some of my thoughts and ideas may be new, perhaps even profound to me; they are hardly unique. I read somewhere once that every idea we have, every question and every answer has been thought of before…many times before. The thing that makes the thought uniquely ours is the way we approach it. For example: I suppose the idea that my ideas are not unique have simmered and stewed in my mind for years on end (it was quite some time ago that I read it) and every time it floated forward in my mind it has caused me to become a little befuddled, to say the least. On second thought, I won't bore you with examples.
As usual and thankfully, there isn't much happening in my little patch of the world. I simply cannot remember the last time I blogged and if I said anything about our trips to Colorado and North Dakota. That was in mid and late spring. Don got in his 47th and 48th states on his quest for the 50 States Club finishers. Though the trips were short, we managed to enjoy the experience. Other than those trips I have spent most of the summer hanging out here at the house, mixing hummingbird food. Those hummers have been hungry this year! Good, good news there is nothing broken on me, I have not been sick and I am feeling fine. I don't suppose that is a real news flash these days. It has been a couple of years since my bad luck streak ran out. Still, that was such a horrendous I can't help but stop and take stock once in a while. We did go to a couple of picnics and we went to Cleveland to visit a dear friend there twice. Now cross country has started again and Don will be busy with that until November.
Tomorrow…tomorrow I will achieve something important! What, you may ask, is an important achievement for me? Maybe I'll clean the bathroom. It's a bit too soon to do laundry, I don't yet have two baskets full and I hate to wash small loads. Perhaps I'll sit down here and write something brilliant that has been thought of many times before by who can say how many other people but I will say it in such a beautiful persuasive way that someone else will want to read it. Perhaps :D
There is always hope.
