Feeling Old
Nearly ten years past thirty
and I’m feeling so hurty
after running with the cubs all day long.
“Climb the hill,” they said to me –
“you can do it, it’s easy.”
You know who should play you in the movie of your life? I do.
I possess a particular talent, a bona fide ability really, of identifying a person’s celebrity doppelganger. Every person has a celebrity twin out there somewhere. You know, someone who could “play you” in the movie of your life. I just have the knack of pointing it out.
However, I have learned (kinda the hard way) that most people don’t want to know about it. The non-famous twin is rarely flattered when I share who his or her famous look-alike is.
Under the warmth of the sun
How did I get here?
How did I get in this mess?
Breathing musty air
and surrounded by darkness.
Wait, when did I get old?
Those two black spots are the cave. But it was higher up than it looks! I promise.
I was fine until I wasn’t. Even a day later I can’t tell you for sure what was my undoing. It could have been the darkness. Or it could have been the tight spaces. Or a combination of the tight spaces and the darkness. Whatever it was, it messed with my reason and made me a little crazy. I had to get out of the cave. I needed sunlight right then.
Let me back up and explain how I found myself in a cave on a beautiful spring morning.
I currently serve as a Young Women leader in church. My primary responsibility is to work with the 12-18 year old girls and invite them to come unto Christ. This is done through a variety of activities, a whole lot of love, and consistent prayer.
I guess the world ain’t gonna stop…
I’m not a big fan of Mother’s Day. It’s been my goal to avoid it for awhile now. For many years I have taken a weekend trip to get away. It’s the same philosophy I use on my birthdays. If I’m not home, it can’t find me and doesn’t exist. It never happens.
Still cute
ck’s philosophy
A Guy I call Handsome Rob
Years ago, as if in a long, long time ago, I used to watch a syndicated television show called “Snowy River: The McGregor Saga.” The show was on whatever ABC Family used to be. I think the name was Fox Family – but don’t quote me on that. Sorry, but the many names the Family channel has undergone is not something I kept in my brain’s memory files.
Meet my neighbor, the super villain
“Hummmmmmm,” it’s unavoidable to miss.
It started several weeks ago. Some kind of low toned, powerful machine droning that disturbed the stillness of my quiet neighborhood. Whatever it is, it’s not loud. Just low and consistent. If I had to describe it (which I do since I’m trying to write about it) I’d call it an eerie hum. If I’m outside when it happens, it gives me a dull headache. However, that could be more from the worry about a possible alien craft hovering above my head in stealth mode. There’s no point complaining about the noise to anyone because it’s not exactly loud. More felt than anything.
