here’s to 2008…

 ok, so this photo speaks volumes of my life…although i was never one to hit a glam party on new year’s eve –much prefer pj’s and the count down on tv…but seriously, it’s like 9pm – the champagne is open (just in case we don’t make it til midnight), little buddy is fast asleep (even though every [...]

finding the holiday spirit…

 this was a frustrating weekend of trying to get holiday gifts taken care of and mailed, long lines, impatient people,  and all the stresses that come with that. somewhere in all of that — i became a real grump (it wasn’t pretty). but i have to say thanks to a completely patient husband and a [...]

holding on & letting go ~ the paradox…

 the prompt this week was a paradox…i thought long and hard over this. i pondered the definition – it was a tough one. but then i started to look at what is going on in my world right now. i am working through that paradox of holding on and letting go right now. this painting [...]
