five things friday: 6/24/2011.

1. at the ripe old age of 55, 

i'm still trying to understand 

how to live life 

in a meaningful manner:
*that* means i feel quite young 

because i'm still trying to figure out 

what everyone else already knows.

2. i still need 

the help of a cartographer 

to follow the map lay'd out before me.

3. i spent a lot of unnecessary time this past week 

trying to make others happy.

4. regarding the aforementioned statement in "3"....

by the end of the week 

i was totally emotionally depleted: 

beat with a stick, so to speak.

5. today is MY day: 

i'm canning the remainder of last year's salmon-catch 

left in the freezer 

to make room for this year's upcoming bounty.
