If I know a little more about a certain topic than someone else does that make me a guru? There seems to be a lot of “guru” bashing going on. Why would I want to bash a guru or even a guru wanna be if they have something to share that I can learn from?

I don’t have to agree with everything something else says, after all I do have a brain and am able to think for myself (on occasion at least). Just because I might disagree strongly with the other person’s point of view doesn’t mean that everything they say is useless. Let my thinking be challenged.

Since it is my goal to learn at least one new and interesting thing every day, I need to keep an open mind about what is being said or taught, then evaluate it according to my personal standards of integrity and useability.

If I run across an idea, or thought, or program, or a new way of doing something that had never crossed my path before, then brain “wake up and see if it is feasible to add it to your ever expanding methods of learning and doing”.

So, if I share something you have never heard of or applied to your life, then I guess I could be your guru.

I think it’s time to get things done. In my opinion we shouldn’t be in this position in the first place, but that’s just me.

I know if I spend too much, I’m going to be in real trouble and can depend on no one else to bail me out. I need to tighten my belt so to speak.

I love my country and my husband proudly spent 26 years in the U.S. Navy. We had to make lots of monetary sacrifices, but we did it because it was just the thing to do.

I’m conservative in my beliefs as far as politics go and I believe strongly in the rights of the individual. Along with rights comes privileges and responsibilites.

I had such big plans for updating this blog with notes and pictures from my vacation, but do you see any new stuff? No! Instead I got sidetracked and a bunch of other excuses.

I did have a wonderful vacation with my sister and brother-in-law, and even have some pictures that I might share.

I remember when I was a young girl and my grandmother said something about time passing so quickly. I thought to myself, how can that be grandma because you don’t have anything to do. But alas, with a little age and hopefully, some maturity, I understand exactly what she was talking about.

I seem to be busier than ever, even if I’m not doing “anything”. Ah, life through the eyes of youth.

It looks like I will need to make several changes and modifications to my blog to get it to appear just the way I want. Honestly, spending too much time on making modifications just gets in the way of spouting off all this information I have rattling around in my head.

My grandmother used to say “the days are just passing so quickly” and as a young girl I could never understand that. Now, however, from a different period of my life not only are the days passing quickly but so are the years.

Guess I better hurry and get all the things down on paper (or blog) that I want to share with others before there is just no time left.
