Jumping In

I love this picture- I took it last week when I was sitting at the park… at first there were several turtles sitting on the rocks, but slowly they all started to jump back into the rushing water below them. I have felt like those turtles this past week- I was sitting and sunning myself [...]

Moving Forward

So it is slow going… and I keep stopping thinking maybe I should just stay put… but I can’t- I have got to keep moving forward. So, wish me luck.

A fresh start for fall….

Dreaming again of new beginnings and fresh starts. Fall seems like a good time to get a fresh perspective on things and clear the slate. So- a new look to things- and trying to revisit why I write here and what I want this place to be for me.

Meet Bertrand

Meet Bertrand. He is the first four legged friend to join us in quite some time.

Dreaming of Paris

Today is not a day for the mundane, but alas– here the mundane surrounds me. Laundry to be done, dishes to wash, cats to medicate….
