The theory and Thanksgiving Day wrap up
Exercise: House cleaning - oh how I love it. After the last windy run, I decided to skip trying today.
Well yesterday was a sort of strange holiday. Everybody got together at my parents' house. Usually we go to my sister's but she's been doing a little remodeling and has even less space for stuff at the mo than usual. We all sat around having our typical warped banter. At one point my mom and sis were talking about something they saw on Oprah where this woman had let her house go to the point that there was dog poop in her bed that she didn't clean up. I made some comment about her "sleepin' with the feces" and everyone went into fits of uncontrollable laughter (told you we're warped). My oldest nephew and actor of the family of course was all over that. LOL
Anyway, the weird part came with the discussion of my parents' will and stuff. I've been named as their power of attorney and my sis is the one that has the responsibility of telling the docs to pull the plug should that decision ever need to be made. I can remember times when I was little where I would actually cry from thinking about the fact that my parents would one day be gone. I know - sounds silly but I did. Having that discussion yesterday (even though we were all kinda cracking jokes about stuff (and yes, I know it really isn't funny)) just kind of made those thoughts I had when I was little more real but I didn't feel as sad as I did when I was 9. I know that I will miss my parents very much when they are gone but I also know that death is a part of life and even though they aren't there physically, they will always be in my heart.
And one other funny from yesterday....I love making little boys cry. As I drove through my home town in my lovely little sports car, all the little teenaged boys were drooling all over the place. >:) Even the other folk couldn't help but look. Like the commercial says, "It DEMANDS respect!" LOL
Ok so by popular demand of one very persistent guy who has turned up lately, I'll give my theory about the past coming back to say hello.
As I sat in my whirlpool bath the other night, it occurred to me that the reason our past comes back to us is that there is a connection beyond the physical world that exists between those you really care about and love. Regardless of how you may get separated from them, that connection remains and even if terms weren't that great when you parted, that connection keeps the negative experiences from overpowering the good so that when thoughts of these people or the people themselves show up later, it's easier to forgive the past. Ok, I'm sure that didn't make any sense but it did when it popped into my head. LOL
And now for something completely different.....
I have decided to rename one of our little furballs Boomer. I swear the minute I sit down, she's on my lap (this being the one that can be extremely bitchy when she so chooses) and even if I put her down, she's right back up the first chance she gets. Today I had been up cleaning and had to check something online really quick for Ant. Literally two seconds after my butt hit the chair, she was on me rooting around trying to get comfy. Just now even though I had the computer on my lap, she hopped up here looking for a place to sit and plopped her furry little fat body right down on top of everything. I guess we know who runs this house! LOL
Otay kiddies that's it for today.
Til next time.....
