Im not really sure where Im going with this, I just feel the need to let some pseudo-emotional energy out, and I dont feel like writing, so Ill just share it on here. Nothing serious, dramatic, or pitiful, just happenings as my day progresses. Im going through a multitude of papers, files, notebooks and records, looking for something specific, but of course come across other things, that will deviate me from my primary goal. Ive rediscovered the Nancy Joy Linton mother load. She wrote so much, for so long. I spent the past hour and a half going through her stories, poems, musings and journals. She was such a fantastic artist in all aspects. I know many of you knew and remember her as always kind, friendly, giving and always having a smile on her face for everyone she came into contact with. But reading through some of this material, I notice quite a bit how dark, scared, and sad she was on the inside. She was a creative genius, overshadowed by her Fathers own strive for power, and burdened with raising a child as a single mother. After I regained composure, and stopped my blubbering, I organized what I could find of hers at the time. Im going to copy and record all her stuff that remains, before the notebooks disintegrate. I think she would have liked Facebook, feeling the need to make people smile with words of wisdom and wit. Like I mentioned in the beginning, Im not sure where Im going with this, except maybe this: Life is short. People look around you right now. Do a 360, focus on everything you observe when you turn around. Mentally take note at what gives you the best feeling of happiness at that moment. You know, like that quick smirk, or maybe a quick heart jump, or even a double take. Take that happy thing and make that your focal point for at least the next five minutes. After that, a feeling of happiness will fall over you, and you know have a happy memory to add to your day. Im going to go play some video games with my son for a bit. If something makes you smile, its never a waste of time. Im done babbling. Enjoy the game tonight. GO BEARS! uh oh
