Green-ish

Whenever I hear or read about people doing things to conserve energy, or save the planet or preserve our natural resources I just want to run away. Honestly, I am rather a rebel in this area. :) I am a saver rather than a spender, but the whole idea of being "green" repulses me. I think a lot of it is that it is so hip and trendy and the thing to do. If anything is "in" I usually run the opposite direction because I hate hype. :) There is also the whole aspect that being "green" doesn't really help as much as people think it does. Prove that to me and maybe I will think about it. :) If you really want to convince me of anything, give me credible statistics over an extended period of time (long enough that its not just hype but is proven fact) and you've got a good shot of persuading me. :)

3 Oh

I turn 30 this year. My life is not what I thot it would be. Actually I stopped planning long ago so I don't even know what I was expecting. But I do know I was supposed to be married by now. I was supposed to have a baby or two by now. Even having a boyfriend, or a possible boyfriend, would be nice at this point. I don't know why it's not happening, but it hurts.

But even in my hurt I don't want to ever forget how I am feeling right now. I know I am in this place for a reason. I want to be able, once I am married (God-willing), to offer hope and counsel for other older singles who I come in contact with. I want to be there for them just as I have had people be there for me. I think that is my passion.

If I can help just one person who is going thru similar struggles that I went thru then I will be happy. :)
