I've been doing a lot of research this past week as part of a major project that I'm undertaking. Some of it is fascinating, and some not so fascinating. I have to admit that digging in the past has made me think more about the future. I wonder what people will think of my work here. Will they appreciate it? Will they take away anything from learning about the past? I don't know. I hope so.
I get excited when I discover something new. As I told so many people this past week, I'm doing this because I believe that it should be done and that there should be one record, if possible, of everything in the small town I grew up in. Maybe some will think that I'm crazy. Why are you putting yourself through this? I have to smile. I'm dreaming for the future and wishing that those that come behind me will know how I lived and how the others before me lived.
Right now I'm not sure what will come of all of it. I feel I must do it though, because I feel called to do it. Yes, it does get me away from my current work situation. I am grateful for that. It also makes me feel alive and needed.
