Odds and Ends


I found myself a new artform that works for me. I have no time to call my own. Time is the most precious commodity anyone has. No one knows how much of it they truly have. I often think of it as a bank account that you do not know the balance of yet you continue to write big checks on it not knowing if you are spending wisely or not. At any rate, I know this much. I have no time of my own. I am either at work, working on school work, taking care of an animal, taking care of my mom, or taking care of something at my church. I rarely ever have any time to spend just dawdling. One thing I do love to do is write. It is more than fun with me. It is a necessity. Seriously folks, if you do not write something everyday, your writing skills will become severely lacking. I think it is important to keep one's skills up to par. I have found a way to make these little journal pages then, write something on them. When I finally collect a handful of them, I intend to bind them like a book. I think they will come in handy in the future. I write short vignettes of dreams, reality and anything I find interesting. It is fun. Time is precious and these little pieces are all I have time for at the moment. I just do not have that much time for blogging presently if ever. My little blog approaches extinction quite often and someday, no doubt, will be the last blog entry. Will I know it at the time? Probably not. Don't you wish a little man would pop out and tell you when the 'last' occurs? Like "Hey, lady, this is the last time you will ever write in this blog." just so you would know to appreciate it more and take special note of it?


Speaking of school, I am growing very tired of it. Sometimes I become extremely disillusioned with it. I have spent so much time, money, and energy going to school and what has it gotten me? I am not saying time spent in school is not worthwhile. It is. It makes a person grow in ways they never anticpate but do not expect it to help you find a job or keep a job. It will not. It does hurt you not to have it but it does not help to have it other than the personal growth aspect of it. I love school. Do not misunderstand that. All I am saying is that if prosperity matters, don't spend a lot of time in school. Although it may bring you education, it will not bring you fortune or security. There are ever more employers out there everyday that do not value an education. Sad yet true. Instead they value 'cheap' but they get what they pay for, right?
