Looking Back At The Beginning
Just got the notion to give away some of the old backgrounds. All the ideas, creations and toying I’ve done over the last four years with this blog. Some of them I do love, but just don’t fit with my theme, or focus, or feel I want now. I can’t help but think about that small group of early followers from those first 30 days. … Continue reading Looking Back At The Beginning
The Random Happiness Files ~/~ And Around And Around We Go
§ Part Two § On foot, camera in hand, the landscape surrounded me. With gently rising pastures, broken only by hedgerows and ancient split rail fences. The only sound, the birds and the crunch of the gravel underfoot. Those days will be remembered as much for their dichotomy, as for the grief. Suppose, really, all four years with Tim were the best of times, and … Continue reading The Random Happiness Files ~/~ And Around And Around We Go

Some find it in the place of their birth; others may leave a seaside town, parched, and find themselves refreshed in the desert. There are those … Continue reading Of Landscape & Soul
Those 9 Foot Ceilings And Me
So Mom, been thinking lately of a switcheroo within my living space. Rrrreallllyy pre-occupied lately with it. Currently, I have my floor plan laid out in a pathway through the furniture like a horseshoe. Great Grandma’s dresser, with its wavy old mirror, greets you at the small foyer I created with my wicker divider. In Feng Shui, they suggest always positioning mirrors across from the … Continue reading Those 9 Foot Ceilings And Me
How To Be Human
Perhaps its age that does it, but lately I’ve had this snarky “remind me why I give a shite again?” voice that pops up every once in a while. Like the other night, out for dinner with the bunch. It was your youngest Granddaughters’ 12th birthday. I had been over at Crossroad Man’s, grabbing my sunglasses I’d left and a quick chat, as I knew … Continue reading How To Be Human
