Listening for the Happy Sounds...

So, here it is late August and I'm trying to get my butt in gear and keep a commitment I made to myself. You know, doing the blog thing. Problem is, I'm distracted. I'm always distracted and having A.D.D. doesn't make it any easier....oh, look at what I found on Pinterest. You can check it out here.  So my friend, Tiffany, you know the one from Texas that I wrote about here. She just made the leap into Facebookless-land. Not sure if it's a real place, but she jumped off the social bandwagon, began blogging again and it got me thinking...don't I have a blog somewhere out there in the vast internet? Oh, yes, I do and I've abandoned them. Sorry to those of you with abandonment issues, it's the A.D.D. I promise. Promptly after reading her latest entry, I headed back here to write.  
And while deciding what to write about I found myself thinking that life would be much better as a hobbit. Random thought, I know. Hobbits  are not up for surprises or much excitement and are creatures of habit, with the exception of Bilbo or Frodo. Those Baggins' always ruining a good point. However, my life is a stark contrast to a hobbit in the Shire. I'm always in a constant state of upheaval as a military spouse. I make no point to hide that, but it's not my entire identity. I also, try not to dwell on the "perks" of this insane lifestyle. We move every 2-3 for $hits and giggles, it seems my husband is always in a foreign country and that's the normal part of my life. Then I began to question myself- do I long for a "normal" life like so many of my childhood friends?  Yes, er No. Maybe so? Anyways, here I am trying to hold myself accountable and maintain a sense of accomplishment for reaching all my goals, whatever they may be, that I can eventually end up in a happier place with myself; spiritually, mentally and physically.

So currently this is what's going on with me...
...and I challenge all my blogging friends to post a "currently" as well. 
Until next time.
