I decided to create this blogspot to share with others stories of my life experiences. I consider them to be pertinent as they are my life, they are what I am, who I am. I have considered writing a book. Maybe not, maybe this will allow me to share memories without pressures of what comes next. As I have tended to live my life without much structure, mostly to react to stimuli, as they say. These pages will come as they come back to me, as they strike, I will write. I can also be a bit of a storyteller as the mood hits me. Maybe some things here won't agree with you, but at least you'll get to know me and isn't that why you are here?

Happy New Year !

woke up on the green side..again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, it's New Years day, 2012 and I just felt like I should write.

To most ways of thinking, I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm still here. There are many that didn't make it all the way through 2011. We've seen the names of the famous and infamous. Many closer to home as well.

I'm thinking, well, I've never been much for making resolutions, but there are a few high spots I'd like to shoot for this year.

Not in any particular order, only as they come to mind.

I need less than 8,000 miles on the ol' girl to get our 40,000 mile pin. Can get a big chunk of that with another high spot, by going to Rolling Thunder this Memorial weekend.

I'd like to spend more time working around the house, fixing up and all. Seems like an opposing high spot to the first.

I'd like to be able to see family, hmmm, that would be a couple spots working together.

I'm working on learning a machine at work, could mean a spot for the duration of my working life. Good enough job to carry me through paying off the house and get me retired without increasing the body damage that seems to be showing up these days.

Probably be a good idea to work on that body damage as well. Maybe do some things that don't require a doctor.

Been doing pretty good at giving blood, so maybe keep at it. The Oklahoma Blood Institute has a points reward thing going where I could earn a nice black poplin jacket with their logo on it. I like it.

Wouldn't hurt to try to firm up some local relationships, one in particular. Should I have surgery this year, it'd be nice to have a happy home nurse, if you get my drift. Been told, "Happy wife means a happy life." Maybe give it a shot, can't hurt.

I know that there will be opportunities to ride with the Patriot Guard this year and maybe along with everything else, I will be able to do more than in 2011. It's all I can offer, all I can do for those that give up what they give me.

As usual, when I close out, I know that there are other items to add to my post, especially one like this. But, I rarely do.

One thing to add now. I hope everyone has high hopes for the new year and I hope also, that your new years dreams come true and that 2012 will be a year of celebration and not a year to close out with good riddance. You don't actually get that many to where you can wish them over.

Be happy, be safe and hey...same time next year...ok?
