Getting to know you..I mean me..

Remember that song?

"Getting to know you {me}
getting to know all about you...{me}
{something.. something}... getting to like what I see"

Well after almost-60 years..I am still learning about my favorite subject...moi.

In my last post I wasn't angry as you may have thought, just cognizant of how I am being perceived, and my desire to not exactly wear my heart on my sleeve ..all the time..

And sort of wishing I could, at beneficial times, not have everyone know what I am thinking or how I am feeling.

That sounds like something opposite of what most people want to accomplish and I'm not saying I want to be devious..but maybe mysterious is a better word?

Coy?

You know, not give away all my secrets because sometimes they are used in a way that is not beneficial to me..does that make sense?

Anyway, on a less "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handley sort of way..

I am learning what I really love..other than the very obvious..like:

1. The weather today..it started out complete perfection to me..chilly under the covers in the wee hours of the morning and when I walked the pups I needed a hoodie but not a jacket. So...61 degrees is my PERFECT temperature!!

2. Time of day? 4:00 o'clock. Always has been. School's out and supper's not ready yet..time to play. Unfortunately, the bosses of the world see it differently. But I refuse to set my happiness clock to 5pm. So there. Nanner nanner.


3. Best alone-contemplation time? 5am. Any season. Especially summer and fall..OK..spring and winter in there too.

4. Best day of the week? Friday. Really. Actually it's Friday night, Sunday morning, so I guess I could split those up into two categories: best night {Friday}

and best in-jammies-morning Sunday..




It's odd that we should be learning these things at almost-60..but glad the lessons are coming ..maybe the "Teacher" knew the student wasn't ready to learn...

Hmmm..

"Deep Thoughts" by Colleen..I can see the book in the window of Barnes & Noble now

....OK.. OK.. maybe just the window if my mind...

Isn't the second line, "Getting to like you,
getting to hope you like me- etc.... ?"
I'll join the group as I'm an Irish gal, too.
Where I grew up I think the boat docked !!!

That long term memory works well. Let's see....... maybe when I am using the computer and haven't a clue what I am doing. I keep saying there is an easier way to do this......
Love your blog ! My picture was taken two years ago at age 72 (you do the math) as I really didn't have any of me. I was the family photographer.
Love you blog and your wit!

I think you never stop learning about yourself. That's what makes life such an adventure!...even if you do learn not so good things; there's always something so amazing about you that it balances out to make you, in my eyes, the perfect Grammie. Plus, it means you don't necessarily need to crack open a text book to learn your "something new every day." :)

PS- I bought a coffee maker and place setting set to match the microwave!!

Lots of Love!

So true, we keep learning about ourselves all the time and I've noticed how I have changed over time (Character as well as wrinkles)Sorry I've been busy learning other stuff this week and haven't been to read your funny posts. I will catch up soon.

Wanna see what I've been up to ??
