It's SOMEDAY!

Someday I should write another blog post ....   It's "SOMEDAY"!  That's my new motto.   There are so many things that I'm going to do "someday".   But now I'm thinking more in the line of "it's now or never" ... I've realized that "someday" seems to continually creep forward, out of reach.  So rather than make plans for "someday", I am moving to a Yoda philosophy ... "do or do not, there is no try".   For all those things that I'm going to do "someday", I will either do them, plan them, or release them.   I don't need to do everything -- but I can choose what I can do now, and what I need to let go of, in order to do all those other possibilities.

One "someday" item happens soon ...  someday, I'm going to be in a play.  Singing and dancing, even...  (well, singing and moving on stage... not sure it's going to be considered dancing!)  As everyone near me knows, since I'm constantly plugging the show, putting up posters, handing out reminder cards, etc, the performance of Godspell is coming up soon!  It's been really great, although more challenging than I'd expected...   but considering that it's been 30 years since I've been in a play, I think I'm holding up ok!  And it's an awesome cast, really great people who are also really great singers and actors.

I've also taken the "someday" philosophy to crafts...   I have always thought that "someday" I would do something crafty - and I do enjoy our "craft nights" even if I don't have any projects that I'm working on. I've always had projects that I'm going to do "someday" - but somehow I never seem to have time.   I've found a latchhook kit in a cabinet at my house, and now I've been working on it, a little bit at a time.  I have had to remind myself that the goal isn't to "get it done", but to "work on it"...  and that has helped me to be successful in working on it.   Once it is done, I am going to connect this one and some others that I have done a long time ago, and actually USE the result, rather than have it tucked away.   There are other craft projects that I'm considering - but any that I can't focus on in the near future will be donated, so that someone ELSE can enjoy it, rather than have it collect dust at my house!

"Someday" I'm going to write a book.  But for now, I'm just going to write blog posts for a while, and get in the habit of using words and creating sentences.  It moves the writing from "someday" to "now", and as far as making a book, well, that will be easier if there's really some writing to put in it!  :)   There are lots of things I think of, and think "I should write that down".   Well, I'm going to do just that!  And you, lucky reader, will be the first to see these writings!  The topics may be varied, from "What I am Thinking Right Now", to "Linda's Theories of Life", to "My Latest Rant"!

Maybe some of this comes from being past 50...   being over the hill...  on the downhill slide...  and all I have to say about that is, ...  ...  ...  "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"  !  At this point in my life, I am planning to enjoy every moment that I can!
