18 Years Of Blogging

18 years ago 

I started this blog. 

When I look back at those first posts I see how the desire was not lost. Not all at once. It was that it just kept losing the competition. Every time the house needed her, desire waited. It waited at the bottom of the list. At the end of the morning rush. It waited for after everyone else was taken care of. 

Most days after never came. 

She did not stop waiting. She got very good at putting herself last.

That what was hers. The desire that existed before the conforming told her where to put it. Still there. Has been the whole time. 

Just waited until I walked into a room that routed it other than last. 18 months ago. 

What is one thing that you desire that has been waiting at the bottom of your list?

Tell me. I want to read every word.
