National Blog Posting Month
It was hot and humid today. I worked ten hours and sweat more than I think I ever have. Sometimes I can't tell if I'm sweating because of hot flashes or because of how hot it is outside:) I can't remember the last time I was so dirty. There was dirt in my hair, and my clothes couldn't have seen a more sloppy designer; I didn't feel very feminine. I paused in my dirtiness to take a look at the sky noticing a thunderstorm building in the cloud above me. The cloud seemed to grow by the second, getting bigger and puffier until it became heavy with water and turned grey. I thought about how big the sky was in comparison to the cloud, and how little this large four story tree was that we were taking down. I suddenly became very insignificant.
Working outside after being involved in so many lives has changed my attitude in everything I'm doing. I can't really explain my feelings, and I probably shouldn't right now, but I'm different. Maybe I was more burned out than I thought, or maybe I was just ready for a change. Looking at today, I found time for some simple thoughts, worked up some sweat, and got dirt under my fingernails. Today I was not female, I was not fifty, I was not someones mother or wife. I was just a part of nature; I was part of being outside where there was a lot going on. If I had been at work a month ago, perhaps I would have been complaining about the heat!
I've been meeting many people in the blogging world. The ones I'm meeting are mostly women. I wonder - is it mostly women? I know there are men out there and perhaps it's just me noticing more women. Kind of like when you notice something you haven't noticed before, like a certain car, and suddenly you see it all the time. Then you start to think, what have I been missing? Well, there are many of us out there. I'm happy for it though. It's nice to reach out beyond my little world and see wome…
