Everybody has played Pac-Man or at least heard of it I hope, if not, read no further because this post is of no interest - maybe of no interest anyway. Well, Anteater is much the same. An Anteater runs through a similar course eating ants trying not to bite off worms accidentally and if bitten by a spider - watch out! Loses a life! Now you get more than one life. Somewhere along the way the Anteater picks up energy as they do in these arcade and video games and gets to keep on going, like the energizer bunny. Lucky for the Anteater. Life is like that for me. I lose a life but somehow get to keep on going - even when I don't want to. Those who know me, know I'm taking a ride I didn't buy a ticket for. I can't stop this train and I want to get off! The Anteater in the Arcade game once begun, can't turn around and go back to the starting point and begin again either, much as the player would like to and either can I. So we, the anteater and I, muddle through the muck and eat the ants, and get bitten by spiders. In my case, the what I think are witty and clever emails don't get sent, the updates aren't updated, and my reading is way behind. Generally speaking, I fear I need to keep on going like the energizer bunny when I would rather let the batteries die. But, I suppose somewhere along the way, like the Anteater, I'll pick up energy from somewhere and get new life, like an arcade game, and keep moving on and finish the game, if not a winner, at least a finisher. Which at this point is good enough. Starting with "Push" for First Editions" due on the 6th of February then "The Help" which, thankfully, I've read already, that's picking up some energy I guess, and I move along inch by inch and get 'er done. My challenge, I asked the 3rd Saturday Book Club, was to give me a topic for the Blog. The topic from Laura was "Anteaters", not easy!! I've exposed my personal life more than usual, oh well... I am what I am and accept me or not, I guess today I'm an Anteater.
