What is that?
There is this "thing" that I get in the pit of my stomach sometimes. It is a good thing. When I think about certain things, like owning a horse and being able to ride it when ever I want. Or watching clowns at the circus. The thought of owning a successful small farm, or when my children do something well. Just the mere thought of going to Ireland. What is that? I call it excitement to some degree. There are a lot of small things that make me feel that way. It would take awhile to thing of and list them all, so I won't. I have been feeling that today. I was reading Debi's blog and thinking of Ireland. I know a lot of times it is a misconceived notion of things, putting things in a light that aren't so. Anyway, I just wanted to say that.
I am amazed at how selfish and self centered I am. I am not harping on myself, it is just something that I have noticed. It is unusual to see humans thinking of others first. To actually have the thought that others have just as much right to be and do as I have. That is what I am working on now. To think of others as just as valid as I am. To improve my attitude toward others. I think it interesting that when a conversation is taking place, I want to jump in there with "well, I ......". To make it pertain to me, me, me. I want to change that some. Not that I don't ever want to be concerned with my wants and needs, I would just like to be more aware of others and their wants and needs.
O.K. speaking of me (HA!) I have been thinking about some more stuff. It is like some wisdom is being leaked into my head. I have been selfishly thinking of not working as a server any more. It is hard work and there is a lot of stress involved. I know that sounds kind of funny for food service, but it is real none the less. So, I am figuring that come April when we get some things paid off then I can work and put all my money toward the cars and have them paid off in a year and a half. Pretty good, huh? That is exciting to me. And that will free up 600 more dollars a month. So, come August of 2006 we could have paid off cars. That just sounds wonderful.
Well, the day calls.
