Elementary school is so misleading. My little predictable world at Prairie Elementary School did not prepare me for a transient adulthood lifestyle. Most of the time, I like things safe and partially explored. I long for familiar faces that I can count on and predictable behaviors. Yes, occassionally, I explore and react in unfamiliar patterns but for the most part I am a creature of habit. I love routine- the man in the sweater vest every Sunday morning sitting in the corner of the Unicorn Cafe, the guarantee of laughs at work, the promise of fall & then cozy hibernation, and the voice of my favorite night-time dj on a midnight radio.0 comments
As an adult, I feel like I now am constantly saying hello and then goodbye to co-workers, friends, family members, church members, neighbors, etc. I am not a fan of change so why does it happen around me. . . constantly? How does one shy away from keeping a guarded heart when meeting new people? I realize that one day we will be in a deep conversation with that person and the next day they will be merrily on their way and I will be left waving. I want to find a little barn somewhere in the country, wrap a million little lights around the beams, buy a few Pottery Barn couches, and cozy up with every single person I have ever loved. Argh... school is so misleading.
