Mission Statement

This is my first post on "As I Linger in Limbo" and I'd just like to introduce what my mission is here.  I have spent some time lately desperately wondering what I am doing with my life.  I have graduated from highschool, and have finished my college generals, so what now? I have to decide where to go next, and my first reaction to that reality is: I can't. I can't make up my mind, and it is frightening to see a void of unplanned space ahead of me.  My great-grandmother, Edna Towers, had a favortite saying, "Can't is a sluggard to lazy to try," and from this I have reached a conclusion.  Maybe I don't know what I am doing yet, but the only way to discover what I like is by TRYING things.  Now, if I were a Jedi Knight, this kind of out-look would not be prohibited.  ("Do or do not, there is no try"--thank you, Master Yoda.) But I don't have a lightsaber, and I think that this whole "trying" idea might actually work for me.  So, here's the deal:  I am going to explore things, create things, cross items off my bucket list, etc. and when I do, I'll post them here with commentary, pictures, and advice.  If you are looking for ways to enjoy life and find purpose while lingering in a limbo of uncertainty, feel free to copy/expand/improve on my ideas.  Most likely, I will also do some posting that has nothing to do with my mission statement--my random thoughts, my favorite jokes, stuff like that.  I'd apologize, but this is my blog.  Enjoy!
