Oklahoma

My Mother will be here Wednesday. I've got to get my room clean!! Do we ever get over wanting to please our Mothers? She will be here for almost a month, booked to go home on the 27th. While she is here we are going to Oklahoma. Nikki is playing in Anadarko on June 12th and we will be going to the show and also visiting with some of Mothers' family that still lives in that area.

I am looking forward to the trip. Some of the family I have met when I was a child, and some I have never met. I feel it might be the last trip that Mother gets to make, she will be 85 on June 29. She is still going strong. Two of her Aunts lived to be 96 and 101 so we have hopes of having her around for a while longer.

To Blog or not to blog

Whatever we put in writing, on the web or not, is permanently recorded. Journaling is a good way to vent your feelings, express yourself and sometimes to solve a problem that has been bugging you. Once it is in written form, it is forever there and cannot be denied. There is the problem. Many things I would like to get out of my system, but do I want them forever available to anyone that might stumble across them.

Our views and feelings change over the years and although they are not chiseled in stone, they can come back to haunt and possibly even hurt ourselves or someone else. Much consideration must go into what we put on paper or send into cyber space.
