I've been trying to think of a different quoat to post on my page. There's nothing jumping out of my mind...but then, there's nothing unusual about that.
Anonimity is a wonderful thing, at times. No one will read this, and that has it's advantages. I can ramble about nothing and not be critisized. Such as mundane day-to-day happenings.
I turned 50 last month. Not really troubling...but my older sister turns 60 next week. Her kids invited me to a big birthday blowout bash in her honour next week.(love the "U" in that....no, I'm not British, just been around H2G2 too long!) I'm the surprise. Think about that for a moment.
I haven't seen or spoken to her in a year. I had to have my niece send me directions because I have no idea where they live. It's not that I don't care or love them.....I just seem to keep to myself. Perhaps too much.
I love my brother and sisters dearly, and there are no family issues between us. We just live very diverse lives. That was hard for my new wife to comprehend, at first.
We had been married 6 months before she or I ever even spoke to my brother(she has now met him...finally), she has never met or spoken to my older sister since shes' known me. My eldest sister, she barely knows anything about. We've been married almost a year.
I'm the youngest of the siblings, and I know time is growing short for all of us. I just wonder, sometimes, if I should persue a closer relationship with them.
But we're all so different.....I love them dearly, but they don't fit in my world and I don't fit in theirs. I suppose how it is is how it is.
Hmmmm.....can I quoat myself on my space?
Why not.
