Bits of Excitement

An evening curled up within the warmth of home. Little missy and teen miss asleep, hubbie out of town, Food Network humming in the background, Mulled Cider candle flickering and a few precious hours with our trusty laptop - editing pictures and just savoring this "me-time". It has been scarce to find over the past two months, this "me-time", and while we have had bigger worries and obstacles to overcome lately than my carving out time to write and create - that's exactly when I most NEED to carve it out. So here I am, a Thursday evening at home alone for a few hours and loving it!

I feel big changes coming, this excitement that has been fueling me as I learn more and do more with photography, is leading me in a direction I wouldn't have dreamed possible at this same time last year. And as the excitement builds, I remember something that happened about 10 years ago... my friend Amy and I went to a psychic, for fun on one of our birthdays, whatever, that part isn't important. Whether or not you believe in special powers or psychics or what-not, and I'm on the fence, there were a few comments the psychic made that have stuck in my mind all these years. I bring it up to Amy now and then, as well as share it with others. ANYWAY, on to what she said already. She said I would have a long life, two marriages - one very short and the other long-lasting, I was best suited to be in business for myself and would have the means to retire at a very young age. Hmmmm...that speaks to me.


Bits:

~ New job found - and after only 45 days on the hunt. I am so proud of Patrick! He starts after the Thanksgiving holiday. Hoorah!

~ The technically-challenged one figured out how to create a collage header for her blog!! Hoorah!

~ Fall, Leaves, Kids - it doesn't get better than that. Thank you, thank you to my family and friends who are very patiently letting me practice on them. :-) Bear with me if you're a FB friend and have seen some of these already...
