Flyin' 'Soul-o'...

   I have never been the type of soul who was interested in participating in much, that is 'organized'...not, sports-teams, not, 'classes', nor, even, 'Fellow-Shipping', with fellow-Christians. I'm, not, terribly, sure, as to why this is, but, my 'history', at attempts, in this, type, venture, 'speaks for itself'. I was a 'Bluebird', as a young, child, and, enjoyed, attending the, weekly-meetings, as I LOVED our Leader, the lovely, woman in charge of our group. However, after this, kind, woman moved-away, I didn't 'hang in', within the organization, long enough to become a 'Campfire Girl'. I attempted Girl Scouts, eliminating the preliminary, 'Brownie' participation, and, this, endeavor, lasted one, WHOLE, week, somehow, I became bored, quite, easily, and, 'that was the end of that'! Other than in school, where it was mandatory, I have been, but, once, on an organized sport's-team, this, as a first-base person, on a local, softball-team; where, as the 'Bad News Bears' of NK, with, barely a season's win, we wound up 'taking it all' in the playoffs. I must admit, that, it was fun, 'while it lasted'; Yet, my participation was, more, due to the fact that my BF, at the time, was a team-manager. Insofar, as my taking part in any, sort of, Church, or, otherwise, gathering together, to praise Our Lord, in communion with other, Christians, I do this, periodically, and, only, when the 'mood strikes'; Though, typically, this, a thing I do privately...just between me and My Maker. I have NEVER felt bad, about this, aspect of who I am, for, I 'trust my gut' and, my instincts, and know, especially, with respect to my relationship with God, that, I do NOT require a 'public-forum', by which to honor Him. I find myself thinking, a' la Grouch Marx, who, in a letter of resignation, to the 'Friar's-Club' wrote, 'I don’t want to belong to any club that would accept me as one of it's members.'; This, naturally, written all, very, 'tongue in cheek'. Anyway...I am a 'loner', at heart, and, a very, 'private'-person, in many, regards; and, I do not 'question' my desire, or, lack-thereof, to participate, or, not, in things, considered, 'clubs', associations, or institutions. I do, however, participate in my, own, personal, '4H' Club, of, which, I am sole-member. Within it, I practice my faith and thanksgiving, for the things, which are the 'foundation' of my 'Private-Club'...'Him...Happiness...Health...and, Home'. I am, however, open to 'New Membership(s)'...Care to join me? Just Sayin'...
