blessings owned today

earlymorning and i have been listening to vintage neil
diamond on youtube and now dave is playing in the background
i am currently OBSESSED with youtube and all the music
i can find there.

my weeks have been busy, so busy that i employeed
the soon college grad to help with layouts. she steps
in as if she has done it for years. new ipod for her efforts
soon.

i have a laptop on the way too. i can't believe i have gotten
away with no laptop all these years. i feel silly even admitting
that i don't have one. now i have to bite the bullet and
buy new software. YIKES! this is going to be an expensive
month, but i have put it off long enough.

this crazy, hairyed life spins frantically some days. i feel like
i am sitting on a carnie ride with my arms raised in the air
stomach up and down, giggling and sometimes near tears
begging for the ride to slow down so i can hop off with my
weary feet under me, looking for the secure footing.

so with that - i embrace the blessings that i have today

..ideas spilling from this conflicted brain
..the brite sun and warmth that has scooped up middle indiana
..the life of caroline that nuzzled up next to me and brought
some sweet souls in to my world
..tech pencils and clean white paper
..this local artist, talking to her about creative options
in this sleepy little community. iam not alone.

peace.
