5 nice miles on the trail by myself. I always miss conversation these days because I really am swamped by my darling children during the bulk of the day and miss chatting with friends. I can' t really get together with play groups for my younger children because of homeschooling my older ones. I get out in the afternoons and take my older ones to dance or other classes and enjoy some adult talk there. I'm a talker and could spend the better part of the day discussing ideas. I would like to believe that I am not a gossiper. I try to portray people in the best light. Although I do occasionally air frusturations about difficult people I live by a creed to speak no ill and still try and be fair when I am frusturated. |
