Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

April17

Do you know how good it feels to be clean? What about if you’ve felt really grubby for quite awhile? I think the only time I have felt dirtier than I felt earlier today was when I was in the army many moons ago, and we would go to “the field” for a couple of weeks at a time. But even then, they’d arrange for hot showers now and again. Not every day of course, because there is much work to be done when you are living that way, but certainly not a week. I was about desperate enough to try a bath in something like this picture, which I found in the Beaufort NC real estate listings. Luckily, it didn’t come to that, I’m no longer grieved at my internet friends who continued to shower mercilessly, and then inform me of it, either. All in all, life is pretty good with hot water.

But, here’s a funny thing. I got so used to heating water on the stove to do the dishes, that when it was time to do them tonight, and the new-to-us dishwasher didn’t fire up, I started to heat the water again. Umm, no. Just turn on the tap, Cass. Oh, the bliss!

    I think it is really funny how often people are put into situations where we take things for granted. I spent a couple years traveling and there were many things that I didn’t anticipate would happen or I would have to deal with. Life definitely shows you curve balls.

    So true. And it’s a blessed person indeed who can roll with the punches. Did you blog your travels? I’d love to read about them!

    I haven’t thought about that yet, but I am going to start posting some of them and my past experiences. Most of my posts have been about my experience with business. Stay tuned…

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
