procrastination of priorities, or re direction?

yes it has been forever since bogging!!! This past time period (almost a year) has been a total re assortment of priorities, and filling life with good things.

the events-----
-met a great chick
-bryce was baptised
-spent lots of time with great kids and thier blossoming lives
-wrecked my truck
-fixed my truck
-wrecked my truck again(or a deer wrecked his life)
-finished the never ending homes of star valley
-finished an associates degree
-saw mexico briefly one day
-found some talents (remember eye of the beholder) I like (writing)
-found some that are not talents but struggles (accounting)
-quasi moved to idaho (too much crap)
and of course
-got married!!!!!

It has been a rather busy year, with partings, meetings and future thoughts. A friend once said " hold on to life cause it is just getting started", financial success and overall big business tycoon thoughts came to mind. Instead findings are that life is just starting, and the soul is harrowed, the mind is enlightened, humility enriched (least desirable journey) and realization of the wake and ripples left along the journey delight and haunt the spirit.

Whether by age or by the urgency of intuition the world climate is constantly in thought. An election, society norms that are ever changing, acceptance of, and temperance to the media, hollywood and daily chatter on the streets and in our towns are all things that churn the inards. Involvement may be a key mitigation tool, or hopefully for at least the immediate family. If we all took it upon ourselves to realize that our involvment at home is the key, it makes changing a world easier. Maybe a dream, but the week produced at least the appearance of this theory---- read on---

As thoughts are lost in how to vote and throw what support is musterable, the recent choice for Vice Presidential candidate proves a theory that has ran the lonesome and sometimes empty hollows of the middle aged mind. Chanting change doesnt do it, providing change by stepping outside of the norm, the accepted and delving into the unchartered territory, (at least as far as politics is concerened) may prove to be the answer.

The last thing we need in Washington is another lifetime politician, by chosen career. It is time that we step beside ourselves, and notice what is wrong with ourselves and fix it. It takes the brutality of honesty, integrity and GRIT. The thought has echoed in the hallway that change will not come from an independant or whatever new and unsupported party may be, but from an accepted peer in the norm (Mc Cain). To walk where no one has walked before. (Palin) {Again as ramblings go much is said to find the end},
here is the point-----------------> a person who recognizes that "we the people" are signers of the paycheck, and then has a background of motherhood, and managing a home has all the grit needed. It is time we recognize that most of the big ideas and stability of society always came from our mother. Guys who truly are honest will recognize and say the simple phrase about thier wife "she was right" bottom line they think better, not something an arrogant man will say in his youth. But even that comes with a footnote and here that is-----------> neither man nor woman can or will reach thier full potential without the other, serving each other as they proceed.


-now after rambling on about all the bugs in the mind, this is a great year
-now is the best time of our life
-hold on , from today forward life is just beginning
-we can become better, and provide hope
-to make what you have and where you are a treasure in this world is a gift, and it is an oppurtunity for all!!!!!!!!!!!
