Weekend

After a rough week at work and a lot of sleep last night, I am so excited to have three days off and my mind is racing about learning new photo techniques and crafty projects I want to do. It’s hard to explain, but with all the crap that happened last year and dealing, always dealing with surviving, I felt sort of dead inside and now I don’t. I’m dealing with all sorts of survival stuff as per usual, but now a whole new dimension has re-opened and I feel excited and alive (sometimes) and don’t want that feeling dead inside to resurface. Who would have thunk that the world of blogging would have had such an effect. Between these morning pages, my photoblog and reading other’s blogs – it’s a whole new happy place. yay
And let me not forgot the joy in it being W’s last few days in office and actually feeling hope for this country again. double yay!

My Dog

There’s something so wonderful about watching a happy dog. We went to a park yesterday and he ran and ran, with other dogs and alone. He was very respectful of joggers, bike riders and dogs on leash. It was seeing and experiencing the pure joy of living in the present – fascinated by the icing on the pond, the snow on the path, the brisk air, another dog around every corner.
