Right now
It is 9:30 a.m. This is my first posting in the world of blogging.
It is now 9:31, and I wonder, "What do I say?" So, I will start out with why I would venture into blogging. An Earth Angel died. It's that simple and that complicated. Someone died and it awakened me, for today. I know about death, or I should say that I have been tackled by death; the sudden death of my spouse, and that death unveiled a very immature 32 year old mother of two. I became a widow, in an instant.
I am now 51+ and I wonder, "Will I wait, until? What am I waiting for? What do I want? Why? When? Where?"
David Anthony Gentiles died on December 18th, 2009. I had seen him 4 days before and he was very much alive. I can recapture his smile, right now, and the way he illuminated a room, because his smile was intoxicating. I didn't know David as well as I wish I had. You see he was on my, "I will get to know him better, later, list." Grief and regret, I tell you I do hate these feelings. I do not like the word hate, but it does apply, at times, and this is one of them.
Blogging. Well I have learned things about David, on his blog. I have been so intrigued by the things you can get to know about a person, by reading their blogs. So, I found myself sitting in my red rocker, with a cup of hot coffee, and reading about a man that I didn't get to know, alive and in person, and decided, it's not too late. I am getting to know David better and better, by going to his memorial, reading his blog, and knowing people that he loved and loved him. What a cool man!
So, David was my inspiration to start, today. Start what? Well, whatever sits on my enthusiasm and follow through. Today...well today it was creating a blog. Last night it was to create a Vision Board, manifesting the things I want in my life. My favorite quote, on the board, is "Never have an ordinary day!" I want to be more like David: love, laugh, play, and be vulnerable and courageous.
So, what about you?
