Day 25

"Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." -- Forrest Gump

Around here, DH and I always say that we are 'bobbers' -- bobbing along on the river life -- managing to maneuver, so far successfully, around whatever life throws at us, but still being swept along by it's current only making minor adjustments in the direction we happen to going. For the most part I think this sentiment is true for us -- we have been fortunate in our decisions and our opportunities. Oh I am sure talent and foresight had a little something to do with it, but we are not 'movers and shakers' that go out and make things happen. We are more laid back than that. We just are not planners, in fact just the other day I told DH that, while I was very happy and content, at the same time I also felt a bit sedentary, adrift. I told him I thought it was because we did not have any real goals at the moment -- is this it? what do we want in life? is this the house for us forever? are we going to stay here in the desert forever? (I have always envisioned more green in my dreams yet I have no urge to move on) do we want to travel more, show our kids the world? I suppose maybe the river of life has dumped us into a placid pond where everything is peaceful and balanced. Maybe it's not a bad thing to just sit and bob here for awhile enjoying the view.....

Twitterings: Today I just tried and mimic some of Anna B.'s great portrait shots -- boy was that hard!! But I got this shot that I like, and I didn't crop it or anything! Yipee!
