A person’s potential

Someone told me today that Elav had great potential, to which I said, thank you, I know.  (What?  He’s my husband, of all people I should know.  Besides, I wouldn’t have married someone without potential… another topic for another day.)  But it caused me to think about a person’s “potential” in life.  When does a person not have potential?  At what age in life is there no longer the “potential” to go places in life?

Elav said that when a person is fulfilling their job at the highest level and has given or is giving everything in their power to do it, that is when someone would not say anything about their potential.  So one day that person had potential and the next day they had fulfilled their potential?  I guess.

i love the feeling of sore muscles!

Brownstown

back home from convention…  it takes quite a bit more effort to get settled at convention when i just got there on friday after the last meeting.  but it’s a luxury to get a full convention these days.

SPI Belt

Today I bought my SPI belt on the internet, so I can’t wait for it to get shipped here so I can try it out.  There was one situation where I could not get off the sidewalk because of tummy pain and a nice middle-aged woman picked me up and drove me home.  I was half a block away from home.

So the SPI belt has a reflective pouch that will carry my phone and my house key, which will be handy because all I do right now is lock the door and then hang the key on the lantern screw literally 2 feet from the door nob. ( I really hope no one reads this blog before I get my SPI belt.)

Ok, off to pack for Brownstown convention!

Being Kidnapped

Elav and I finished watching Taken and now I’m thinking back to the times I’ve traveled out of the country by myself or with another girl… I feel lucky to be alive.

one of the top things to know as a person

One of the most important things to learn is that the world is not yours for the taking.  In other words, you don’t need everything you see.

it just came to me

its not so much that i dislike southern illinois, i guess i’m just afraid of being forgotten… or perhaps that i didn’t make an impression to begin with.  i am 1 of 2 professing kids in the whole southern illinois area, as far as anyone else is worried about, i’ve disappeared off the face of the earth.  it’s not so much that i’ve left and therefore have left a hole where i used to be. i’ve left and no one seems to care.
