A friend once gave me a sign for my birthday. It said, ”To be average scares the hell out of me”. I think it to be true, and I don’t think anyone who knows me would describe me as average. Many in my past, especially, would likely tell you about my laugh. In fact, they would tell you that there would be no doubt that they knew when I was in room. You knew I was there and you knew it was me. Someone would say to me, “I knew you were here. I heard you laugh”. I sometimes didn’t even know I was laughing. It really was a natural element in my psyche.
I’m not sure though, in the present, if anyone would describe me by my laugh though. It is puzzling even to me that I seemed to have lost that element. Maybe not totally, but perhaps, I need to find it. I have another blog that I started in 2015, Finding Hutch. It was relatively about searching out a healthier me, a journey to find myself, hopefully to find that laughing spirit. In fact, I stole part of the “About” section of that blog to write this. It still applies because I am still trying to find that spirit of laughter.
”To be average scares the hell out of me”.

A few things have remained with me over the years, my fierce independence, my need for change, and my insatiable quest to find something new to bring about that old excitement and laughter. So far it has taken me everywhere I ever wanted to be, leading me down paths and roads to this place, the place where I feel most grounded. Peanut Pond. It seems like the best place to start a dream journey. A dream journey where I will meet new people, see new places, and do new things. Looking for and hopefully finding the laughter along the way.
