Speaking of....

I am from a family of nappers. One of my earliest memories is of standing beside my parents' bed watching them sleep. My mother's idea of a perfect day off is to sleep in and stay in her pajamas all day.
The carpet in the living room of my parents' house is plush and soft. My siblings and I have taken many naps on that carpet, basking in the warmth of the afternoon sun. In August Jon, Spencer, Dalia and I laid blankets and pillows down on that floor and napped while dinner was being made.
Yawning now...more to come on this subject.
Must
sleep.

Dear Readers,

I will be thirty at the end of October. I have been looking forward to it, happy to have the age to go with the gray hairs that are multiplying all over my head.

I spent my twenties staying up too late, watching too much TV, drinking too much beer and sleeping in too late. I plan to spend my thirties and the rest of my life pursuing goals and making a contribution (however small) to the world in which I live.

I am in my last year of college. In May 2010 I will receive my bachelor's degree in Speech Communications. This seems as good a time as any to begin to document the goals that I have for my life and the dreams I have for my future now that I am awake from my years of average, bored, listless complacency.

Love,
Regina Van Winkle
