Envy...that purported green eyed monster that lurks within all of us. I must admit that sometimes I drool (mentally of course) over what my loving relatives have accomplished and wonder why I was not smart enough, wise enough, or maybe passionate enough to do the same. Case in point, I have two wonderful cousins who are artistic while I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler nor wax eloquently in writing about just about anything. Meanwhile, they blithely create beautiful, mysterious paintings and jot down thoughts that I must ponder sometimes til my head feels stuffed and albeit maybe a little confused. To add to all this they discuss wonderful trips they've made and all the beauty they have seen while I discuss the latest jaunt to help move one of my family members.
But then I think of the love of my family, the joyous little trips we've made (although I really am tired of the deep ruts I have made between Washington and Arizona) and the NOW hilarious little trip ups that have occurred on said trips.
Maybe that green eyed monster does surface as I drink in the latest tales and envision it for myself, but occasionally I will hear that someone envies what I have or am doing and I wonder why.
Could life be more mysterious?
Please visit my wonderful cousins great blog site at http://sandramardene.googlepages.com
I know you will love the beautiful paintings and great stories that reside there. Enjoy.

First Day
Ok, here I am with a new blog page. Oh, boy. At my age I'm not sure what I'm going to be saying as I progress forward, but I'm sure that I will find it will take on a life of it's own before long.
Do I have anything important to say? Hmmm that will be an interesting path to go down and search for the answer. Will I be profound? In all honesty, probably not a whole lot..I find humor is much more fun and if someone gets what I really mean by something, then it is all the better.
They say blogging can be theraputic and about now that would be quite nice as life is on the hectic side this way, not to say that no one else is trudging along through the muck of daily life.
So I shall see what comes of this.
