De ja vu, but different

I am in the great city of Valdosta. This city hates me....well, ok, maybe not the city but the streets do! I get lost...not just a little lost, but a whole lot lost in this city when I come. The place I need to go tomorrow is less than 4 miles away...how could I get lost??? I have a knack for that. It spills over into many areas of my life...but that is another story...
Today I rode around, and around and some squares and rectangles! I finally found where I needed to be, but realized I didn't know exactly HOW I did it and HOW to get back!! Ok, so that meant more round and round...so here I sit, hopeful that I will make it to my destination tomorrow ON TIME and with SOME SENSE and LOW blood pressure!!

This venture is to learn more so I can teach advanced placement students...it is all educational...

LAST time, my very best friend in the whole wide world consented to come with me so I would not be alone...and, of course, we promptly got lost!! Although, her keen observational skills alerted me to the fact that there were familar signs to guide us (LOL, LOL).

LAST time...it was because someone thought I had some sort of talent, and the college I attended paid for me. I wish I had appreciated that more...not that I didn't think I was 100% appreciative, mind you, but NOW I know so much more how rare it is that people look at your core, not what you can DO FOR THEM.
Rant over, I need to go to sleep for the BIG DAY!!! Keep your fingers crossed I don't GET LOST (either for real or metaphorically!!!)

it's a great day!

First, I heard from my favorite musician in all the world!!! I am totally psyched! It was because of this man that my husband and I met! (long story for another blogtime).
Secondly, I now have a "personal trainer" who is setting up a regime for me that will match my specific needs (umm...except the lazy need).
Third, I am still meeting with my Bible study buddy to try to dig through the rubble...
I am anxious to get my life on a new path. I am anxious to actually LIVE my life and stopped bumbling and stumbling through it. Sounds easy, but for me it is SO not. I am a worrier, insecure often and have that syndrome when you may actually be good at something but you fear people will find out you are faking.

Neurotic? Maybe. LOL
ANYway...getting off to a new way of living.
Yee haw!

New!

New blog, new day, new ME! Yippee! Sounds a little childish, doesn't it? I think for too long I have forgotten how to be a child. I have forgotten how to enjoy life. I have forgotten that to just be me and just be with me is a good thing. I have tried for so many years to be what I thought others expected of me. I thought I had to do this to keep relationships. Well, that IS true, or at least it has been true for me in the past, but I believe there is a better way. I am on a quest now to find out who I really am and who may want to go on a similar quest. Anyone up for the challenge?
Blessings and adventures,
Sallie
