not to worry
Thursday, June 4th, 2009i have been blogging since 2003.01.13. 6 long years. 6 years of telling the world intimate details of life, love, travel, wants, needs… all that memories written to remind me of how foolish i have been, life’s generosity, abundance, pain, lots of first things.
and who have i been? how about you? think 6 years ago, what was life then? i know life would have been different compared to now, but how different? presented with the same problems, would i’ve done better? i’ve told a friend that life would have been easier if i were young. decisions are made easily, maybe not the best one but you can make those bold statements and actually believe them. young and restless; the world is your oyster so to speak. everything seems to be good, or good enough. then you wake up one morning and realized that you’d grown up. no more excuses, no more foolishness. you need to own up.
youth. what is it with youth besides that it’s wasted with the young? i’m not really keen to be young again. i’m fine looking back at it and having a laugh. a big one. let the memories be memories, looking forward to creating new ones.
listening to:
Songs I Heard – Harry Connick, Jr: Over The Rainbow
p.s. i love harry connick jr’s version of over the rainbow. of course judy garland’s more smoky and sultry, but harry’s throw back to the rat pack era hits me with the right punch.
