Hi All

I've been AWAL around the blog house for a bit, (is there anyone out there who has noticed?) I ask b/c it's been VERY quiet on these pages for some time now. My dedicated readers (all 2 of you) seem to have disappeared at once. B, are you back from travels now? My blog(s) need you!

Anyway, I've been making myself frantic with the workload that has surfaced in my life over the past 2 weeks. It's good work, work that I want, but I couldn't seem to remember that as I stormed around and sat at the computer editing for what seemed like eternity. My back and neck started to ache, I wasn't outside much nor was I enjoying cooking, eating or seeing anyone. I just wanted to plough through it all and come out on the other side without any weird facial ticks.
Now that I have a bit of breathing room, I can only sit and ruminate how folks with kids and a busy work schedule lead happy lives. You must let go of a lot and learn to get a sense of humour fast while you drink yourself silly. I realized through this that I need much more practice at being the calm self I think I am, only when I'm much busier.

I reluctantly got this new cell phone that allows me to take videos that I wanted to share with ya'll here except I don't know how, or if I can. Stupid phone, with even stupider (I know that's not a word, but I'm annoyed), instruction booklet that gives you no instructions but just describes the meaning of the phone features.

So instead let me lead you to a little treat I found today. If you like animals, good photography or both, than please check out Sharon Montrose's etsy shop. And p.s. the porcupine made me laugh out loud so I added him to my holiday gift wish list. I must have him!

I fully appreciate your frustration with feeling completely alone and frenzied so I will reach out to assure you that there is a life on the other side. I will count myself as one of those who got captured by the gravitational pull of pre-holiday business. I need to get back to simple, back to sublime. Reading your entries and perusing your photoblog has inspired me to do just that! Step back from your work and stretch, breathe, go get a massage and have someone who is a l'il more tech savvy guide you through how to operate your new video phone.
BTW, the porcupine is adorable; hope that print finds its way to you....and what's with the tortoise!?
