• Just so you understand where I am coming from, I have looked up three very important words in the thesaurus that should give you a clearer idea of how this story is going to unfold.

  
  

  Meander:  wind, convolute, twist, go all over the place, ramble, wander.

  
  

  Digress:  to depart or stray from the main subject at hand, stray, go off on a tangent, beat around the bush, wander.

  
  

  Ramble:  roam, drift, meander, saunter, wander aimlessly.

  
  

  I was thinking about how the first half of my life was consumed with rushing.  I was rushing to grow up.  Rushing to get a boyfriend.  Get a job.  Get an apartment.  Get married and on and on.  It seemed like life was spread out before me and the path went directly to my goal -- growing up and being a responsible adult.  Then this strange thing happened, I woke up one morning and discovered that 50 years had just slipped by and I was now a responsible adult.  Lord, where did the time go? 

  
  

  For the past 7 years I have been meandering down (or up, if direction is really important) this lovely little path with its twists and turns and surprising finds.  I am in the process of becoming.  By combining stories from the past with the reality of the present and a lot of humor sprinkled in, I will share with you the wisdom gained from a life lived.

  
  

  Remember the old bandage, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.  All well and good but, I ask you, who's in a hurry?
