A little somethin' - somethin'

A little somethin' - somethin'
This is truly my first blog. So bear with me...I am not a writer, but more of a observer that would like to get a few of these thoughts out of my head. These random idea's, concepts and ramblings stock-pile in my head. They then become random pieces of paper all over my office.
I only have a finite room in my noodle and in my office. Idea's begin to vanish while they were still just a scribble or a thought.

Many of my email friends who receive my first email of the day...get a page of ramblings... So rather than bog down in it, I am going to blog down in it.
Up and out.

Here we go... My thoughts today...My title was to be "Reasons for Hope"... Lets see if I can set a parameter and stick with it.
In visual art, that is easy for me...writing, not so much.

I like to read and hear about hope, and happy endings. I feel comfort in the fact that others find hopefulness a purpose for being. The need for hope at all is a major component of the human condition. There is something quite wondrous in the fragility and quirkiness of people.

In the past I would have described myself as a dreamer. That my optimism and hopefulness had a flavor of Polly Anna and childish thoughts. Just hope itself, but not a path to it.

Now, I would say I have more real world experience where tenacity and faith are required. The outcome of of many situations was not certain, or my idea for the best outcome. They were full of painful realizations and loss, and I didn't know what to hope for except that I would not always feel this way.

There it is there. Hope is a just a kernel of truth. It is a small thin thread or a vapor or mist but it is always present, a comforting companion. Hope is right now, but it is also shining in the future and illuminating our past. We cannot get enough of it, we can not give enough away.
I like that - the infinte. Endless...timeless...regardless.

Hope let's me know that my blog isn't a silly idea, even though I have major grammar problems with my writing. That maybe, it will improve with practice...hence maybe that is the whole reason for the blog.

I guess I stayed on topic.
Now I'm distracted and started reading the newspaper. I am obsessed with the real estate section right now. I am all over the board. That is about as much as I can write. My mind is now starting to make lists of the things I need to do.
That is a clear sign to move on.
