Zed's Water Day!

One thing for sure i have learned in life
             you can call it wisdom if you want
is that it won't turn out anything like you planned
       wanted
               imagined.

that changed my life

i was a planner
      a thinker
             a lister

and i had been taught we should do that

now i am not so sure

now i think
      maybe
            we need to work instead -
on refining our attitude and reactions to be Christlike.

that is - for me - actually a much harder task
     than planning
              preparing
                     doing

to have life happen in a way you hate
        to be torn and broken
                  destroyed

and remain Christlike

that is not easy
      that does not come naturally

i think one's time would be better devoted
     to preparing for that eventuality
            than to attempt to control life

because you can't

at some point it surely has to occur to you
      that you are so far from in charge
                that it isn't even funny

well,
     if you live in reality
             i think it must

so ~
     my life philosophy
                such as it is
has changed

from a path model
              to a reaction model
from an action model
      to a reaction model
perhaps respond is a better word.
     reactions tend to not be our best foot forward
response seems more thought out


and that is the greatest wisdom of my 50 years
              not really sure what that says about me
but i think maybe i wish someone had told me that a long time ago

so, has blogger improved any?
when i started i could not even figure out how to get paragraphs!
     i also like to use spacing
                    in place
                             of punctuation
and it would not let me

test to see if it will now

ha ha! it did.

now to get that annoying pic off!
feels good to be back at blogging. . .

Ok. Definitely not HTML.
Will try to edit all my other bad stuff
No promises
Did you know blogspot is now blogger?
People said it was easy
They lied
I cannot remember my xanga password :(

It still ran it all together.
This is a better font tho

I thought about going black. I love my friar's page.
I call him "my friar"
He's the only friar I have
He loves Assisi
I do too
My friend Jane is on her way there now
I try to pretend i am not jealous
I don't think I am
But I am glad for her
She is going with a group
I know my limitations would not allow that
So I am just glad i am her friend
And get to hear all about it

I wish I knew what all these buttons do

Other people seem to have paragraphs I guess they use space Ah. That HTML button. That is the key. Now, how do I get a better font? Cuz this one stinks! So I am allergic to soy Everything has soy. I never remember this until AFTER i have eaten And then my nose begins to run. Eating only whole foods is a pain So is a runny nose
