There is an entire state where they make you turn right, when you mean to go left.  Always seemed odd to me but now I think I get it.

I am too old for fairy tales.  When I began this blog it was because i needed to believe in something.  I needed this vehicle to bubble my days into learning moments.  Forced self-reflection.  Well, not so much forced as scheduled.

Lynn mourned my abandonment of CZ the other day, an observation I found most peculiar since I haven’t much missed it.  Granted the impetus was a little IT problem, combined with the headswirl of grad school and ultimately an all encompassing job.  Those are the reasons that lead me astray but not the reasons I hadn’t missed it.  I hadn’t missed it because I was busy living my purpose, my life.  I didn’t need to say goodbye.  It’s here whenever the energy moves me - but the bulk of my days are spent swimming in the present.  I can do both.  I can have both.  They are not mutually exclusive.  Not every day has a point, but every day is worth experiencing.

Love to my loyal readers.  I’ll be here now and again.  Sometimes more, sometimes less but only when I have something to share. XO

P.S.  I made a scarecrow today.
