another year older ...

yep -- my birthday is coming up on the 29th. wow -- that means if i was born in 1968, i'm going to be turning 38, right?!? lord have mercy -- i've been dreading getting older for so long that i lost track of how old i really am. for the longest time, i thought i was ALREADY 38 and turning 39. yikes -- now that's scary...and sad...depending on your point of view. ;-)

Losing touch.

It's so easy to get "wrapped up" in things. For some, devoting attention to one thing could be a result of avoiding another. In the scheme of things more recent to me, I'm definitely guilty of that! In the past few months, I've lost touch with a lot of things. Family -- friends -- MYSELF, really. I've been definitely going through a lot of things from the last time I've made a blog posting. There's a (sketchy) saying I've heard going around, "Without going through it, you'll never get to the other side." Hmmm -- words of wisdom or pure non-sense? Hell if I know! I'll just go back to MySpace! LOL.
