I don't want to hear it...

Several things came to mind as I was contemplating blogging...

First this quote,

"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft a-gley," or often go awry

Love Robbie Burns, yes I fully intended to blog more this year and yes I have but some weeks or days go awry...

My other issue is my muse, she's a wandering thing and doesn't like to linger, she prefers to flit about and dash in and out of my brain scrambling it!!

Muse

 (myo͞oz)

n.

1. Greek Mythology Any of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science.

2. muse

a. A guiding spirit.

b. A source of inspiration: the lover who was the painter's muse.

3. muse Archaic A poet. 

The Nine Muses were: Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomeni, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania and Calliope.

mine is Calliope

Morning posts?

It happened again, yes, my eyes shut before I blogged...

Not that I am very inspired to write this early in the day but that may change thanks to a few
changes at work. Starting to take my full lunch hour and I may be able to ponder ideas while I walk.
Or those changes may make it easier to write at night...something else to ponder!

OH! maybe I can blog about words, you know those words that inspire or make you go "uh"
like ponder!

stay tuned...

the Monday after the Sunday

Freely admit I am not really a fan of football, yes when asked I will admit I like certain players and will cheer for teams in some cities but my favorite reason for the end of football season is it means that my favorite season is only days away from beginning....NASCAR!!!

Not as excited for the start of this season for many reasons but hoping my favorite "Team" does well despite the fact that their leader will be absent for much of the first half of the season; not to mention he will not race in the Cup series at all after this (although I'm hoping he does a Daytona 500 run in 2017)

I get that many of my friends and family do not understand my love of auto racing and that's ok with me, it's hard to explain how my heart beats faster as I near a track, how the smell of tires and fuel is one of the best scents in the world! The sound of a revving engine makes my heart sing! And please don't even as how the sight of a certain driver in a firesuit makes me feel!!

rain, rain go away

I'm so tired of rain, at least today that is. I realize rain is essential to keeping our  planet healthy but too much of a good thing drives me nuts. I can't go out and walk, I'm afraid I'll slip like I did several years ago when I dislocated my hip. Believe me that is no fun, the initial pain was unbelievable, I actually made a grown man cry with my screams.

Not that today was a bad day but I had things I wanted to do...

Yes there is always tomorrow...

Overtime

This has been a praying week...I thank the Lord for all the answered prayers this week. I know for myself I've been saying a prayer every chance I had, when I got up, when I drove to work, at work, during my walks at lunch, on my way home...no matter where I was I said a prayer... Yesterday when I got home I found my prayers were not in vain but had been answered and today after what I've been reading I can tell others prayers have been answered as well.

Just keep healing, don't rush it...You're doing fine!

Thank you so much Lord

oops, yes I did it again

8:30 pm rolled around and my eyelids rolled shut! Here's what I would have written last night!

The news wasn't great but it was better than I think many thought it would be.

My favorite racecar driver of all time and guy with the biggest heart in racing is out of racing for a while. Now it's all healing time for Tony Stewart. He was out having fun and had a freak accident; no I don't need to elaborate, the news media will beat this like a dead horse and to me that is not appealing nor is it important. Healing time is important!

As in the past one thing is for sure, Smoke will Rise just like Fawkes, yes this is a Harry Potter reference and Fawkes is a Phoenix, it's early and I'm allowed to wax slightly poetically, I am a writer or at least trying to be!

Tony is strong willed and all evidence shows he does not give up, I have all the faith in the world he will be back to finish the 2016 NASCAR season when he has healed.

Keeping Tony and his team in my thoughts and prayers as always.

First Wednesday in February

5:50am
it's relatively early, no news is expected until tomorrow. Sending prayers to heaven continually.

9:24pm
hoping I fall asleep quickly and dream sweet wonderful dreams, fingers crosses that the news what ever it may be will not be horrible. Sending prayers to heaven continually.

Groundhog Day

Today is February 2nd and yes, Groundhog Day. I'm watching the Bill Murray movie, Groundhog Day, what a concept, doing the same day over and over until you get it right. At this very moment I wish it was possible; to live a day over until you got it right, that if you made a bad call you could fix it. If I had that "wish" I'd send it to someone who needs to do a day over, someone laying in a hospital bed, someone I hope that all the prayers being said for him are enough.

February Fools Day

Ok, I don't think I did too bad in January, I blogged 24 of 31 days!

Button made it through the first month of 2016.

Harry passed his 1 year check up with flying colors and he lost 2 pounds since we saw Dr. Bo in October!

The weather cooperated today and I was able to walk before work and at lunch.

It's 20 days until the Daytona 500. I'm excited, nervous and a bit sad. I'm sure I'll be blogging about NASCAR a few times this year, ha!! Me thinks that's a slight understatement for this year, now 2017 is a totally different story, not sure if my heart will be in it a year from now. Maybe other racing will occupy my time...

and yes, I am once again rambling...I had an idea earlier but once I lost it, I need to keep a pad near by so I can jot down my thoughts...
