Things Are Gonna Work Out Fine, If You Only Will Do As I Say

I think James Taylor is right. Things seem to be working out fine.

I don't know if it is because I am crazy, or everyone else is crazy, or because it is spring or even the fact that I am getting older. But I have been doing some "crazy" things as of late.

Okay, okay, they really aren't crazy, crazy things. More just things that I wouldn't do on my own. Maybe that is good. Maybe that is how people grow. I really don't know.

As of yet I have:

1. Shot a gun.
(What, Miss "Give Peace a Chance" shot a gun. Are you nuts?!? Yup, I think I am. We did it for FHE, and it was suprisingly easy. Really. I don't know that I have developed a new secret love for guns, but all in all it wasn't a bad experience. I could see how people would like to go.)

2. Joined a book club.
(Okay, not so hard to believe. I can read...really I can. I just don't do it that often. We are reading "The Giver" for our bookclub. I read the book in Grade 8 and was very scared of it....still am. But I am seriously trying to plug through it with an open mind.)

3. Climbed on a roof.
(Okay, I know you are thinking, "Why was Denise on the roof? Isn't she afraid of heights?" Yes I am, and in a small moment of insanity, I let my guard down and climbed on a roof. And we aren't just talking about one of the tar and gravel flat roofs, this one was somewhat steep. Mind you I had to do a lot of praying, and some wonderfully sweet boys helped me down. But all in all, I survived and it wasn't that bad....please let just not do it again.)

4. Tried a new flavour.
(Okay. I am not one to take chances with food. I don't know why, really it is only food. But last week instead of my patented regular hot chocolate, I tried a carmel one, and it wasn't that bad. A small step for a regular person. But a giant leap for me.)

What else is in store for me, I 'm not really sure. But right now I have an open mind.
