Lots of times I almost turned back, but that urge to see what's at the top of the hill (or around the bend) won out every time. Could this be some kind of mental debility (never knowing when to turn back)? Thanks, Lynda.

It took forever to reach the teens, and a while to be 20. 30 came quicker, 40 was right behind, and 50 seems to have been reached a day later. Watch out for life's speed, o youthful one!

But in reflection I believe I will enjoy the laid back speed of this summer, as it seems that things only speed up as we get older! Your blogs are always the best to read!!!

The sparkly eyes . .. hmmmm. . . almost creepy (too cat like). My life would not measure up to the busy that is required in Japan, in fact would be thought of as lazy, but . . . everytime I think of doing something more, someone in the extended family needs me at a hospital, babysitting or visiting a military family for friendship and/or sanity.

My life is pretty dull right now, too. 12 hours days at school, go home, sleep, get up and do the same thing again. Once the summer concert is over things should get better, though. I hope...
