This Again…

Happy Wednesday.

So, tomorrow is the first day of May. Usually, I’m a huge fan of this time of year. I love springtime in Florida…or anywhere for that matter. London, in May, was especially beautiful…

But, this year May is something to work through…

I began blogging on May 16th, a year ago. It was a matter of survival back then…much more than just a hobby. I was re-reading some of my earliest blogs this morning…thinking back to how I felt a year ago. Probably not the best idea on a “Happy Wednesday”…but, oh well.

The spring, last year, was incredibly painful on many fronts. I think I’m just now coming to terms with how deeply the strife and turmoil affected me. So now I’ve spent a lot of time this spring thinking things like “a year ago today, I was…”. I guess it’s all a part of the healing process.

I know…I know, this isn’t really “Happy Wednesday” talk. Sorry. I guess that’s why I haven’t blogged much lately. My thoughts don’t really make for a very inspiring read. Sorry again.

Anyway, happy, happy Wednesday…it really is happy, after all - and a beautiful spring day to boot.

Do you every wonder where sayings like that come from: “To Boot”…what does that mean? Maybe it originated from pirates and they would pillage and plunder to get the “booty”…and so an additional bonus would be “to boot”…or maybe it has to do with a guy’s boot…

These are the kind of things that I ponder…like this morning when I couldn’t remember whether it was an acre or a mile that has 5,280 feet in it…turns out it’s a mile - an acre has 43,560 sq. feet in it…

Now this is more like “Happy Wednesday” talk…and informational…to boot! :-)

So, have a happy, happy Wednesday. I’m currently trying to lighten my “it’s almost May” mood by watching “Dharma and Greg”…I really can relate to Dharma for some reason. I think if my parents had been hippies, I would’ve turned out a lot like her. I did spend a lot of time at the local health food store getting fresh carrot juice and grinding our own organic peanut butter…plus, Barbie wasn’t allowed in our house because my mom believed they sent the wrong message to young girls (they kind of objectify women)…hey, maybe I am “Dharma”…or was, in another life - Just Kidding! :-)

Anyway, Happy Wednesday. I hope you all have many miles…and acres of happiness. :-)
Peace out.

    Welcome back! I’ve missed you online. I’ve come to terms with the fact that the electronic Angie is probably the only Angie friend I’ll have, so I might as well embrace the concept [sigh!] (what, you think you’re the only drama queen in Central FL? Move over, there’s plenty of space on that fainting couch of yours…) LOL ; )

    I hadn’t wondered about “to boot”… until you just asked. (I LOVE those kinds of wierd questions!)

    You got me so curious, I looked it up.

    It turns out, the root is from Middle English - before 1000AD. The root word (bote) means “advantage.” It’s apparently the same root for “better.”

    Here’s a link to the details: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/to%20boot

    Thanks for the fun exercise. :-) (I know, I’m wierd.)

    Hey, I have missed you! Healing and forgiving is a process that has no determinate number of days; it may take some longer than others; but the ones who take longer are the ones who don’t work through it! So good for you that you take the time to process it all!
    Yeah for Happy Wednesday on Friday … :o)
