Hello, I Love You.....

Yes, hello to whomever may have stumbled across this page.  My former blog, "Nancy's Brain Chatterings" has been reborn to "Brain Chatterings Part II".

This blog will contain similarly inane content as the first; various paragraphs of rant and rave, wishes, hopes, dreams, memories and probably, sometimes, a little TMI.

This past May, I hit **67**.  Not sure how this happened, especially when I have postponed so much of my life's desires.  I would think when this happens, when that happens, I will ....... but then, smack-bam-ala-kazaam, I am now closer to the end rather than the middle.

So, what's a gal to do?  Start living.  Of course, start living means different things to different people.  I don't expect to change my personality or do lots things that others do.  Travel is low on my list, though a trip to Italy & Sicily is on the aptly named Bucket List.  I am more introverted, but am friendly.  If I had a choice between reading a book or to go out drinking with other friends, well, I be reading.

I want to write and be published.  I want to play with crayons, pens, pencils, inks, fabric, thread, canvas, oils, watercolors, etc.  I want to be a great cook.  (Though, I am pretty good when the stars align just so!) I want to get rid of the fear that has held me back my entire life.  I want to learn to trust again.  I want to stop being intimidated by bullies.  I want kindness to rule.  And I want the swear jar (which MHN made me set up) to go away!! Yes, I can sometimes have a bit of a potty mouth.

As I sit here eating Good & Plenty at 11:30 in the morning and sipping cold coffee, flipping from Facebook to my email accounts while half listening to the husband yak away, I am thinking of some topics I might write about.

My plan will be to post later in the week.  Have a happy and safe 4th!
