The word for Five Minute Friday is: TRUE. Go……. 
Uh oh. Do I want to do this?
The truth is, my house is never as clean and neat as I want it to be…
I pour over decorating magazines and dream about having it look like those in the pictures.
It will probably never happen. Ever.
I wish I looked like I did in my 20’s, sans the big hair. I want to be more accepting of the fact that I am 45.
The forties are supposed to be great years. Old enough to know, still young enough to do something about it.
That is the thought anyway. Truth is, sometimes I feel like a kid in a middle aged body, some days I have it together and some days I don’t.
I am the most comfortable in jeans and t-shirts. Although, glamming it up once in awhile is fun.
I need to exercise more. Sigh.
I color my hair, because I’ve always been a blond. I didn’t like my hair getting darker as I got older.
I decided to do something about it.
I love my new hairstyle, that I can tuck behind my ears. It is cute and sassy. That is what I tell myself any how.
Truth is, I love to read and write. I love to travel and dream. I love meeting people and hearing stories.
I’m glad I grew up in rural Maryland, lived in east Tennessee for decades, and am now living in the countryside of Ohio.
I am a lover of sunsets and clean, fresh sheets, warm towels straight out of the shower, and wet dog noses.
I love Jesus. I want to understand more. I try to do the right thing.
I teach and I learn and I laugh and I cry and make mistakes.
I make a lot of mistakes.
I yell and I slam around and I sometimes want to act like a two year old….because I can, and sometimes it makes me feel better.
I love watching the weather, and am kind of geeky about it. I also like scary movies and watching NetFlix with my husband.
I’m conservative and I pray and wonder what will happen to our country.
I love my family, even though all of us are imperfect. That is okay.
Truth is, I’m just figuring out life one day at a time.
Five minutes is up…..
It Just Dawned On Me
