Staying Home

 

Here, at the end of the day, is when I think I do best with my thoughts. In the morning, everything is new again; the day is a fresh slate not yet written on. It takes a bit of time to put script and life on the blank page of the day to create feelings, like life and wisdom.

 It seemed like today might have been a bit empty, dental appointment for Elizabeth, laundry, cooking supper, not much of anything too exciting, but then it all became a starburst of sorts. First, I figured out how to scan my old slides onto my Mac and burn them to a disc!!! I spent most of the afternoon reliving the summer of 1983 in Miami and Key Largo. In between scans, I sat at my easel and worked on a big slice of watermelon. Parallel to this epic event was more tie dying; Elizabeth did 15 more shirts. We barely spoke throughout the afternoon, but we were both having fun with our right brains and somehow connected.

I thought of how fortunate we were not to have gone on vacation this summer; staying home has given us the time and place to be creative and productive and that is so rewarding.

 

peace,
