Almost 70 years ago Clyda and Veon were married. That union is why we are all here. This blog is created to capture our thoughts and help us get to know each other better. There will be a new question posted each Sunday until December. Please use contributors first names only. If you are posting anonymously please add your first name to the text. Enjoy!
Please read...
Attention everyone...Marilyn has a WEB PAGE !! You can check it out at www.marilynsmithartist.com!
Nicole, please publish the following disclaimer in a prominent place:
I hesitated to make long narratives with these posts, but Nicole said she might put the whole blog thing into a book form someday, and I could use this as a forum for writing for my kids and grandkids. I can’t pass up an opportunity like that. So rather than bore you, feel free to skip anything you’re not interested in or don’t want to be bothered to read. Sonja
Note from Nicole:
I am happy to do this for anybody that is interested. I am enjoying hearing from each of you and would love to hear from more. Thanks Sonja for taking the time to work on this and giving us an opportunity to get to know you better.

Good question!!!!?!!!
Marilyn
That's really the point, isn't it - the discovery of things about ourselves that need to change and working at refining who we are. One big one I'm still working on is the ability to let go. I'm better at it with some things, but still struggle in other areas. The process of meditation has helped me more than anything else to just let what IS, BE and not try to change what I can't (or what is none of my business anyway). As for what qualities others see in me, I don't really know, and I'm not going there, because I DO know some of the things people DON'T like in me. It all depends on who you ask, I guess.

Well, no. I'm pretty perfect... OF COURSE!!! Oh so many things, which I remind myself of everyday at work. It isn't productive...see there's one thing I would change. I would also like to be less timid and insecure, and beat myself up over every stupid thing I say and do. Also, I would not be so afraid of so many things, like flying.
That second question is very hard for people to answer about themselves. I've heard this question stated, "Who would come to your funeral and what would they say?" Am I the only one on this? Pleasant. For our Christmas Eve dinner about 5 or 6 years ago, Grandma (Sonja) had each of us write 10 things about each family member, and she cut up and wrapped the responses. It was big, warm fuzzys, and nice to hear things that I would not have thought people saw in me.

I will echo Marilyn's comment - Good question!
I would like to change the many times of speaking out of place.
Others admire me shutting up after I talked out of place.
