Note to self

Don't let the lack of tangible proof rule out the possibility of magic.
Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't true.
(Actually two notes, just variations on the same theme).

This moment

A moment I want to remember forever and ever.

Note to self

Spring is coming. Spring is coming. Now say it out loud "Spring is coming".
Take a deep breath...and repeat slowly this time "Spring is coming".
A big pileated woodpecker told you.

Hmmmm.....I wonder

The words bring forth a sense of just that....wonder....infinite possibilities...."reality" aside. Interestingly enough, when kept inside my head they don't provoke the same feelings as they do when they are spoken out loud. Somehow, the process of talking to myself helps clarify things in my world. Is it like that for you?
In the opening lines of my profile I state basically that I am a work in progress. Recently, I have felt a pressure to figure myself out. What is it exactly that I want to do? Is it realistic to expect to be able to earn enough money while doing something that you love? I am thinking that there aren't simple answers. And sometimes I am not expected to find the answers...which brings me back to "work in progress"....maybe changed slightly to "work in process".
Just some light words for a wintry Sunday night.
Sleep well.

This moment

Note to self

"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have". Garrison Keillor

Keep the faith that the above is true....that you are on a path despite that it sometimes feels a bit too meandering to suit the desires of a person who prides herself on organization and practicality.

Markers of time

Despite the fact that Mother Nature saw fit to dump a whole lot of snow on us yesterday, there other indicators that remind me that winters' days are numbered. Not the least of which is the spontaneous wish to sew up some sheep. Nothing says spring like furry sheep....I just need to disregard the snow piled up outside.
