Blogging Vicariously...

See my background?
The moving stuff?
That's what I WISH it was doing here.

But noooo... when you live in the DEEP SOUTH, you get rain, fog, and 73 degrees.
In January.
*sigh*
This is when I miss Arkansas most.

So... I have been spending entirely too much time on facebook lately. Yes, I KNOW it's the 21st century & I am just now joining the rest of civilization by getting a facebook page. I had one of those *other* sites... you know, MYspace?
But it never really felt like "mine," yanno?

Personally, I think the two sites should merge.
They could call it: MYFACE
Bwaha hahaha!
I crack myself up.

I don't know why I can't get back into the blogging mode. I just read others' posts & think, "Wow, that's a great story," or "Gee, I wish I had thought to write that."
I must have writer's blogger's block.

On another note: I have written several pages & done MUCH editing on my book since January 1st! People keep asking me when it's going to be done.
Hmmm...
Maybe I could just sell it by the chapter...?

Wait... What?

Ahhh... the pressure of a New Year's first post.

How can it be January already??? I haven't even finished my Christmas decorating!

I know several of my blog-happy friends (you know who you are) have done elaborate, well-thought-out, end-of-08 posts on their blogs, but I just can't seem to get there.

Don't get me wrong; I'm VERY excited about the coming year & I have so many thoughts and ideas going through my head. It's getting them down on paper (blog?) that I'm having a bit of trouble with.

For me, the turning of this year feels like I am holding my breath. There is an anticipation for something I can't quite grasp enough to speak aloud. There is such a HOPE in my heart for so many things & more than a hint of PROMISE of those hopes to be realized.

I know some of you will understand what I mean
(not just those who are heavily medicated).

It's like telling your wish just after you've blown out the candles.
It's like KNOWING that the coin in the wishing well really will pay off.
It's the excitement every child feels on the morning before a big vacation...

Can you feel it?

What are you hoping for this year?
You DO know it's 2009, right?

H*A*P*P*Y N*E*W Y*E*A*R!

May 2009 hold all the answers to your prayers & the realization of your dreams.
God bless you in the coming year!
Much love,
Summer
