Addie
Meet Addie. I don't know why, but this morning I suddenly got the urge to adopt a fish. I haven't had a fish in years. So my daughter and I went to Petsmart and she helped me pick out supplies. I wanted a tank with colored lights, but bought the white light one because it … Continue reading Addie
Security
Are you seeking security or adventure? Adventure is wonderful. Growing up I thought I would live boldly. Honestly though, as a grown woman, I crave security. I want physical security. Knowing that I'm safe feels good. I crave economic security as well. And I crave security in the form of stability. As a child I … Continue reading Security
Update
I am feeling somewhat better. I have gotten some things done. And I'm feeling creative. Taking a nap helps sometimes.
Weekend, Collage, Adobe
Other than ending up at the dentist, the past 3 days have been relaxing. We wanted to go to the fireworks in the city on Independence Day, but it rained. That was disappointing.

I try to look ahead with a smile and laugh at the … Continue reading War, Collapse, Persecution

Battlefield, Film, Books
Today my husband took our family to a historic battlefield. I got photos on both of the film cameras I brought. I can't wait to see how the color flash comes out in one and the special effects of psychedelic blues film in the other. Film makes me happy. I ordered more today for my … Continue reading Battlefield, Film, Books
Writing Soon
I don't feel like myself today. I felt good for a while in terms of physical energy, but mentally, I feel tired and fractured. I have a lot to do and until about 45 minutes ago I was getting a lot done. Now I'm going to sleep for a little bit.
