Life as we know it

Sometimes life isn't what you expected. When you're six you think you'll be a doctor, a lawyer, a rock star...then life happens and turns you into a cynic. Or maybe you're still the eternal optimist. I fall into the second category most days. Although there are those days I'd like to throw my hands up and run away. I think we all go through those cycles.

I don't claim to be smart or funny. Nor do I claim to be rich or successful. I'm just a girl living life the best way I know how. Living in a hick town has its perks. You find pleasure in the simple things. The smell of fresh cut hay, the sound of a creek hidden in the woods, the way the lightning bugs make the night look like there are hundreds of tiny dancers performing just for you...

Hop on for the ride if you want, or don't. It doesn't matter to me. Welcome to life in a hick town.
