Mind Blown

Yes, as soon as I decided to get down to writing this post, my mind is totally blown.  Why? Well, because I thought I'd get some help from July 2014 BlogHer Blogroll. I scrolled through all the titles - glad that they were numbered - with plan to choose one to visit in hopes that someone's post might inspire how I should start my July 1st post.  Seeing blogroll was numbered, I then decided to get my son's help by asking him to pick a number between 1 and 64... Get this, he distractedly muttered, "thiiiirty threee." And, wouldn't you know it, HE PICKED MINE! Wild, right?

Surviving? Enduring? Persevering? Struggling? *sigh* Maybe a little bit of all of those descriptions.

This month I commit to look back over the past decade. This is how it looked then...

This is not  journey. This is not a Journey. This is not  journey...

This is Hawaii. That road once lead us on a hilarious adventure, but that was in 2003.  July 2004 was... Gosh, I don't remember; not any specifics anyway. Everything I wrote back then is in a Colorado storage place.

That said, the decade since then has been unbelievable. I'll fill you in as the this month rolls on.

Oh, by the way, July 1, 2014 got off to a great start! Exited the freeway at 12:04 am after spending a night out with my daughters. We went to a concert at a venue about 100 miles away.  We had a great time, and performers were awesome. Made some great memories.

Until tomorrow. ~ Lil
