Creating your future link by link

I’m watching A Christmas Carol tonight. I think of how this season for me was slow to start. I got into gear to make and write ,address cards,crafted homemade ornaments as gifts for a couple neighbors,grandchildren,children,a few others. I felt a bit accomplished and yet…. I haven’t felt that warmth or excitement that I haveContinue reading “Creating your future link by link”

The house that stood on the hill….

I lived in the same house for 32 years.( not this one…lol) My Mother made it into a home. It had originally been just a shell of its former self. No one seemed to want it. It was on the market for 3 years prior to she and I going to take a look atContinue reading “The house that stood on the hill….”

The struggle is real.

Is it worth it?

As with anything in life it is a good idea to ask yourself ” it this worth it? My time….my effort …my cost…my emotional input….? When is it time to draw that line in the sand?

Let’s see…writing a blog,taking a look at the non fictional book I am writing to access any holes in the written story especially concerning continuity,a photo shoot of my children’sContinue reading ““To everything there is a season…””

Without Art life would be a mistake….

Friedrich Nietzsche is quoted in saying ” without music life would a mistake “. I relate music to art. It takes an artist to make music. It takes an artist to create good food,art,science theory,mathematical theory, the list can go on ad infinitum. Have you ever seen the Mandelbrot Prints? It’s literally fractal math asContinue reading “Without Art life would be a mistake….”

Take the time…

It’s finally the weekend after Thanksgiving…which means it is Christmas tree hunting time!! This year I found myself not getting particularly engaged in the upcoming holidays. I have felt rather detached. Which is very unlike my normal self. Is it partly because I am getting older? Does apathy come with age? As I said…it isContinue reading “Take the time…”
