And regardless of what your answer was... it is yours!

That's what I think is most important...

Each of us are quick to comment, quick to judge, quick to post links to opposing viewpoints...

I admit, I didn't commit to a full retreat... I even left the door open. But in my defense, there are pics that other people might still want access to, and they are in my albums, on my profile. Although I think that by me posting them, and I verified that I have the exclusive rights to them, they are somehow there forever, I must have agreed to sign my rights away in that 3 page, 2000+ word agreement I didn't read and just clicked on the "I Agree" button... after all, I can't delete any of them now!

Do you really want to know what I am doing? Do you want to know where I am? Do you want to know what I am thinking right now? I hardly know myself moment to moment! So how can I update everyone?

And how can I change your viewpoint? I obviously failed at that more than once! People are so entrenched in the here and now, and when it becomes passe they move on to the next thing. I am guilty of that myself... heck, I enabled text messaging and finally got a text message friendly phone 2 years ago... and recently I was thinking/talking about getting a "smart" phone... I know... way late!

So here's my update... I might update it later, after all, I'm obviously blogging this, so I haven't completely rejected technology...

I want a house, with a porch. And on the porch is a swing. And there is a handmade afghan that I can grab to keep me warm if needed. And the porch is situated so that if there is a river, or a stream, or a lake nearby, it faces it it!

And I want to walk out to my mailbox. There will be a barrel right next to it too... might get lit every now and then!

And there is a garden, that I grow all of those veggies that my former neighbors thought I was crazy to do in my front yard, but were first in line to ask if they could have some!

And I will wait.

Because one day, my true love will open the gate and walk up onto the porch, sit down on that swing, pull the afghan over, look out to the water...

and say "I missed you!"
