Where are you going? And why?
Hi there!
This is no longer an active blog. Sorry about that! I've moved my most intriguing questions and answers to my personal blog, shirleytwofeathers. There are some good links here, so feel free to explore, have a great day!

Well, my initial answer would be "to hell in a hand basket"! But on deeper reflection, I guess I would say I'm on a never-ending journey to figure out myself and my purposes for being here this time around. I feel like I have a FEW things figured out but so much MORE to learn! Not just about myself, but how other people relate to me and how my presence on this earth affects them. It still amazes me that I seem to have an innate capability to piss people off - usually when I least expect it! I certainly don't do it on purpose but I would love to know if this ability of mine is to make me learn something I haven't learned yet, or is it just to teach something to the pissed off person? I would just like to know why it happens over and over when it's not my intent! So where I'm "going" is to continue on this crazy path of trial and error, hopefully seeing more and more successes along the way!
I'm also still tripping happily down the road to success and happiness and feel like I have made some progress down this road - I'm hoping for fewer obstacles in the future! I really, truly feel that I have spent so much of my life in "are we there yet?" mode that I have missed an awful lot along the way! I have spent so many years thinking "when I get a new job...", "when I lose weight"...", whenever this happens or that happens....THEN things will be better, THEN I'll be happy!!! It's taken me 50 years but I finally figured out how to live in the moment and ENJOY the moment, even the not so fun moments are still moments we won't get back! So I'm trying to keep my eyes wide open down this road so I don't miss anything!!!
Hi Cindy. It is so funny that your first response was "to hell in a hand basket" because that is exactly what I was thinking.
And then, I started to think that maybe I am going no where. That maybe no where is the best place to go because at long last I would not be living in the future, but instead be in the "nowhereness" of now. And not running away from my Self anymore.
So it looks like we are on the same page here, in more ways than one.
it really is funny, because apparently we all have parking spaces next to each other in hell, being that it was also my first thought. But I don't believe in hell, really. So where am I going? God I wish I knew. Somewhere into a really scary and unknown future in limbo with a constantly deteriorating physical condition. I guess I will just put a deposit down on a hoverround right now, dammit. That way maybe I can at least chase my children at a constant speed and get around corners easy when they are trying to trick me.
Interestingly a similar question was posted n July 8 or 9, and our answers are way different! It looks like we've come a long way in 5 months!
