On this gray (grey) Fall day, a few days before the autumnal equinox, I am beginning this blog to be able to set the correct course to 40. This is very much a tool for me to empty by brain of unnecessary thoughts as I go through my days. I would journal, which by the way is a well-researched learning tool for adult learning, but my hand cramps up when I hand write things. Since my whole life is now being spent on the computer, I might as well add this to the list.
Being that I have always viewed blogs as superfluous and self-indulgent, I am mocking my attempt at putting this tool together. If my friends and family wish to read it, so be it. If not, I will probably become more clear-minded as the months of studying and daytime isolation continue. I figure, the more clear-headed I can be as I head into my 40's, jobless but not without lofty goals, the better off I will be...and the better off my daughters will be - not to mention my 16 yr marriage.
This is good. I am emptying my brain of pointless ramblings - putting them to "blog" so that the Goldens don't have to hear me mumble to myself all day AND so that I can get my final paper for my Adult Learning Theories class completed and posted before my mom-time kicks in this afternoon. (It would probably be best if I wasn't also slightly distracted by the Twin Peaks marathon currently playing on the tv...but I need constant sound/pictures to fill the void the voices in my head would otherwise fill -lol)
Here we go....
As I said, my friend. You have inspired me! Keep 'em coming!
