I have been absent for quite a while now and am finally coming out of the dreary routine of simply exsisting and getting back to doing what I want and what I love.
I finally realized that I fell right into that trap of routine, going to work, coming home, sleeping, etc. You know what I am talking about. It is easy to get pulled into that trap and I was pulled in hard this time.

Lately it has seemed the sky has been giving me some fantastic eye candy. I do not know why but I have fallen in love with the clouds and seem to be having quite the love affair with them.

Strange things happen, that is for sure. I wrote earlier this year about a morning walk I took where I had a bobcat cross my path. A Magical Morning. IT was quite the experience for me.

My heart aches at the loss of my sweet Lucy, but I am also filled with gratitude for the years I had with her.

This morning I had a very magical walk. I went about a hour earlier than usual becuase my neice was not coming with me so I didn’t need to wait until after taking her son to school. I simply took my daughter and headed off to do my walk alone.
It was cold, at least for me, I could see my breath and my face and my ears were getting that stinging feeling. There was hardly anyone around, 2 other cars at the parking lot and then I was a mile and a half into my walk before I saw another person.
