Heekak is a made up word that one of my best friends taught me. It is another word for hectic. I latched onto that word and use if frequently. It is my life, as I have mentioned before.

I have come to the conclusion *I will do what I can do, as best I can do it.*

I enjoy blogging but have put it on hold because of all the Heekak in my life. That is going to change and it is changing today. I have alot to say and it is time I said it. Wow..that sounds pretty powerful. Maybe, just maybe I can do it.

My friends who read my blog have been very vocal about my absence, so I am rejoining the writing world.

My husband just called me to tell me he is 5 hours away from home. He was stuck in the snow in Ohio and is very happy he can make it home at all. But he will only have about 4 hours here until he has to leave again. But the tone of his voice was much happier than it was yesterday.  



Excuses

I really thought the older I got the more free time I would have, but it seems the opposite is true.

It’s like I wrote in my Christmas cards this year, and even those were at a minimum. I said, “There is not enough time on the clock, money in the bank, room in my house or energy in the body.”

And those are my excuses for not keeping up with *Southern by Choice*. I have tried to stay dedicated, even with all that is going on here, but it has been impossible for me to do. I hate not posting as much as I would like, so I have decided because I love words, maybe I can do some short posts that are thought provoking regarding, sayings, platitudes, mottos, remarks, proverbs etc.  Hopefully I will get some responses, if there is anyone left that still is reading my blog.

The first one is a Maori Platitude.

“Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows fall behind you.”  Being a Christian my mind immediately changed the saying to  “Turn your face to the SON, and the shadows fall behind you.”

Blessings to everyone.
