About a year ago, I posted this video. The days were gray.
The days are gray now as well. This year the gray days are prolonged.
Just enough teasing sunshine in between to make the gray days even more miserable.
I’ve found though, that joy and peace can be found in those days, regardless.
So it is my hope that this little video will help you find some joy and even peace in your day.
Just remember, Spring IS on the way.
I’ve been reading lately about how to make this blog a better place to visit.
My first thought, long ago, was to tell my personal story, then use it to help some to crawl out of the pit that they, or someone else, dug for them.
I have for many years, off and on, written random and not so random things in journals. I’ve kept them all, even shared bits and pieces of them, in an attempt to help others.
From there I went on to showing people the value of some quiet in their life, and hopefully, helping them to create some for their own.
Next came the photographs that I so love to take.
Some have been made into my little films, calendars, puzzles and coffee table books.
Now I’m even thinking of, gulp, my religious and political leanings.
I must say, I hate confrontation of any kind. (Confrontation there would most likely be!)
The prolonged temper tantrum I see all around makes me angry, and quite frankly, sick to my stomach. This is not to mention that it intimidates me a lot.
What do I do?
What would You do?
What would you like to see here?
What would make you want to come back?
I’ve been a blogger off and on since 2008. I’m still not happy with where I am, but I am also not compelled to quit.
All the years of processing cannot be for nothing. Can I ask? Where have your processes taken you? Would you care to share in the comments?
There. It’s out there. My fears. My questions.
Do I pick just one topic, hope for the best, and stay comfy and safe?
Can comfy and safe really change the world?
My Grand son told someone the other day that ever since he’s been on social media, that I, his Grandma, have been taking photos every day of the same thing.
Well yes. I have. Mostly. But here’s the thing;
Here in the Mid-west, in the Mississippi River Valley, it may BE the same thing, but it never really LOOKS like the same thing.
For example; lately we have been in a polar vortex that has given us many days in a row of well, meh. But you can even see some beauty in the meh, if you look for it.
Then after days and days of this meh, you may wake up to find more of the same, or you make wake up to find something quite glorious;
Something so cold, and beautiful that if makes you happy for the glass between it and you. But I must say that even though it IS freezing, the beauty of it all does warm my heart, if not my hands and feet.
So you see, the same thing, is not really the same thing.
And you know what? In one months time, the same thing, will not be the same thing all over again.
