Does It Have To Be On Purpose?

Earlier this week I had an opportunity to catch up with a good friend. We met for coffee at Starbucks (and no I am not a coffee drinker, but I have found a few good drinks I enjoy so that I can visit with my coffee friends...though it has been a while since I have done that).

I thought you said you met at Starbucks? We did. However, it was a cold spring morning and the blessings of April showers ended up with us heading back out to our cars, driving over to her house, enjoying some yummy pancakes and a warm fire, and well hours of conversation. We both were quite surprised when one of her children arrived home from school and we realized it was now 2:30 pm. The irony was that as we were trying to place the semicolon in our conversation we only made it as far as the kitchen. Then we both agreed to the logic that if we sat in the wood chairs at the table we would not talk much longer because those chairs were not as comfortable as the comfy couches...plus we were further away from the fireplace. Well, about an hour later we finally forced ourselves to pause (if another child did not need to be picked up we probably could have kept talking).

One of the topics which came up during our marathon visit was whether or not it was ok to do something if there was no purpose involved? Both of us share a commonality of being serious at times, I struggle with it far deeper than she does - all too often I wear my "oh so too serious" expression of thought. And since our conversation, I have pondered that a bit...Ms. Oh So Too Serious is not quite done pondering that question.

Although this particular blog may seem random and purposeless, part of the reason it is even being created is so there is a sequential blog to yesterday's post. I had several plans, purposes, and points I had intended to make today - none really were accomplished...BUT that is ok.

Want to talk about irony? I created this blog I believe on February 26, 2008, and the first post was on April 3, 2008...that still baffles me a bit.

Blogging - interesting concept...I am exploring, BUT I am still not so sure what I think about this process. However, as I am learning with several things in life - what exactly do I have to lose?

As far as design and layout...Ms. Oh So Too Serious is not quite pleased at all with what currently lies on the screen. It is definitely better than nothing, but so not the final selection bringing me contentment...makes me wonder when I will get around to doing something about that???

Well that is probably enough nonsense rambling for now...those of you who know me know I could go on much longer...much, much longer...but for now I choose to stop and that is ok because it doesn't have to be on purpose does it?

Does that make any sense...it does not even quite make sense to me...but that's the point right?
