One thought on “Hello world!

  1. No idea what I’m embarking on, but I’ve got to get off my duff someday. My intention is to write little blurbs about my life and family. There are some things I don’t want forgotten, and there are some things that are only important to me, but I’ve got to get it down.

    I’ve noticed that when I write, I often go back to my elementary school days. It’s a little weird, but obviously (to me) those days were important.

    It’s where I established my core feelings and attributes, and I’d like to explore the “why” of that. For instance, why was I nauseous every morning when I walked to school? I realized much later that it was my fear of “arithmetic.” Frightening, too, is the thought that so many people out in the world have never heard the word “arithmetic.”

    Why did my mother always ask me, in Spanish, thank God, if I had remembered to wear underwear that day. It’s a long story about why she asked me that, and while it embarrassed me a bit, it also made me laugh and relieved my tension about arithmetic. I could go back to that question when I was trying to understand fractions and feel a little smile some across my face.
