It’s been a while!
This afternoon I washed a car for someone and it was pretty cool. Nothing like washing a car on a warm, sunny afternoon and getting paid to do it. I also got invited to the fridge to grab whatever I wanted to drink - “Anything but the beer!” (How old does he think I look?
I feel like I did when I first started working a long time ago and started keeping records. I went to Walmart, spent some money on car-washing ingredients and wrote it down on a slip of paper. I have already made back what I spent on that, and then some. It will be kind of fun to keep track of what happens. It’s so nice to clean things that turn out so well when they’re finished. And most people who want their cars washed have nice-ish cars that are easy to make look great. Even this older Lincoln with its peeling clear coat and messed up hood looked pretty nice when I was done.
Ok, I’m starting to get a little walking-on-eggshells feeling here at my blog. Not allowed! Definitely not. What will people think of my life? What will people say next? How are people going to see me? Does it even matter? What if I do say something that people don’t approve of? Why do I say things to begin with? Why do you read this? Why do you approve or disapprove of what I write? Why do I keep asking so many questions?
The weather today is *gorgeous.* It’s a beautiful spring Florida day. I am wondering what is going to happen when the weather gets really warm in the summertime. Will I melt? I bet the gulf (which is not far away) gets really crowded in the summer.
If my family stops by to read this, I’d like to tell them that I’m very happy here, but I miss them.

Who cares what people think of your life? I’ve finally figured out that if I worried about that all the time I would turn into a pile of mush trying to please everybody, but actually pleasing nobody. The question really is, what does God think of my life, what will He say about what I have done with the time and talents He gave me to be steward of?
BTW. Congratulations, you’ll have to introduce us to your other half!

It’s called “fear of man” and it’s something I’ve had to reckon with time and again.
