Seeing Through the Fog

There was a lot of fog this morning as I headed out for work. It was actually quite fascinating and I wish I had my camera to grab a shot or two but sadly, I didn't. Exhaustion is something I am familiar with but I haven't felt like my ass has been kicked quite this hard in a couple of years. It would seem things are on the way to becoming "normal" again, whatever that looks like. Although I am not sure I would recognize normal if it kissed me squarely on the mouth. Or maybe this just is what normal is going to be from now on. Who knows?

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. For those of you who celebrate it, my wish for you is that it was a reminder of how much you are loved. As for me, I am simply hoping to get back into the swing of things starting by writing something. With luck I will be caught up on my reading list soon. You guys were certainly busy bees in that area.

It has been a long, emotional and draining week that culminated in a remarkable celebration of life. Thought I would share a picture. It struck a chord with me (no pun intended). I don't recall which song was being played although I think it was Imagine by John Lennon, there was a lot of music. Thanks for hanging in there.


Posted a meme on my LJ. Link is under the banner if you want to check it out.

  1. I have nothing adequate to say. Love what you have as long as you can. There is no normal, it is all so random.

    It is a beautiful photo. And I love your meme. It is entirely you.

  2. That is so true Beth. All of it.

    There were a lot of guitars up there. All the kids participated. And thanks about the meme. I liked it too!

  3. What a beautiful moment to have captured. A lot of love on that stage and off. I agree with Beth. "Normal" is always changing. Sometimes we don't notice and sometimes we can't help but be slapped in the face by it. But if things didnn't change, bad times would never turn into good ones.

Thanks for leaving me your thoughts ~ they always mean a lot.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
