Here's yet another meme that has been making the rounds.
I am: a friendly cave, a deep pool
I want: to grow up
I wish: I paid more attention to relationships than to my own sense of morality
I hate: the greedy commercialism that so charaacterizes American life
I miss: Hawai'i
I fear: being so distracted by this world that I lose focus on God
I hear: music when the radio is turned off
I wonder: what I will do next in life
I regret: the way I have treated others when I was afraid or selfish
I am not: as clever as I think I am
I dance: with abandon (though not much recently)
I sing: bass when my throat is in good shape; baritone when it is rough
I cry: when I see good triumph, mercy win over, and gratitude spring forth
I’m not always: this reflective, but most of the time I am thinking about something
I make with my hands: cabinets, food, love (not in that order)
I write: when I think I have something to say (maybe I am deluded)
I confuse: thinking with knowing
I need: challenge and compassion
I should: do what God calls me to do
I start: all kinds of projects
I finish: very few of them
I tag: my dear readers and fellow bloggers

Oh, I like this one.
I can't imagine moving from Hawai'i to Fake Cow County. I would mourn. Frequently.
I really love your answers on this. It reads like poetry. But why do you want to grow up?
Nice. I haven't seen this one. Maybe I'll do it after I'm done presenting for my masters (5/3/06 pay for me).

Thanks for the comments, Rachel and Patti.
What I mean by "I want to grow up" is that I don't wnat to be immature. I have no intention of losing a child's zest for life; but I need to lose whining and fear and stubbornness. Those qualities are really not that endearing in a 57-year-old.
And, Patti, I will pray for you as you go through an intentionally intimidating time. I have sensed your strength; I am confident in your abilities to triumph; and I will pray that you will feel God's presence with you.
That makes sense.
You? Stubborn? Naaahhh. ha ha!
But where are you lately??
This has been a tough week, annie. By the time I have gotten home from work, I have been exhausted. And since there have been few opportunities during the daytime to grade assignments for the online class I teach, that's what I have needed to do in the evenings. But I have poked my nose into your blog and others; just haven't lingered long enough to comment. It will be better next week.
