I have already started a number of blank slates here and the middle of a family vacation is probably not the best time to start another one. (As much as I like blank slates). Nor am I going to give myself any particular goals or dreams. At least, none beyond the happiness and well-being of myself and those I love, anyway. For, as I have discussed here before, I do not like to make my happiness dependent on a lot of external factors. If my life were a story or play (and it amuses me to pretend sometimes that it is), I suppose the current cliff-hangers would be these: ~ Will I ever grow to like Portland, Oregon? ~ Will it ever come to hold any magic for me? ~ Will I be sad when it is time to go home? ~ Will Brighton live up to my memories and expectations, or will my return be a big anti-climax? ~ Will 'The Girl With The Red Lollipop' return? Or is she gone forever? Time will tell. |
