stuck

things I found on the beach 24/08/09 - sometimes I really do inspire my own self ;-)

I can't remember why I was wading around in my own blog archives yesterday, but I was. Looking at the images, so many beautiful scenes from our life captured by me & posted daily.
I'm so thankful for that, so thankful for this nearly 4 year old blog habit of mine. It's as if I wouldn't believe my own life if I couldn't see it here. A life filled most often with incredible daily beauty, personal struggles, goals, battling of beasts, dreams, sadness & loss - and growth and change, so much growth and change. It's quite amazing & very rewarding reading backward, especially some of the posts as I struggled to make or find or figure out a new life for myself & my animals. Missy D and I were so stuck together back then, stuck in our grief & missing the big red dog who we both loved so, of course she & I are still stuck - in a much happier, content way.

things I wrote back then

I will sell this house ... (we're in the process of flipping this old brick house)
I will be free of all this overwhelming upkeep, maintenance and debt.
I will have a brand new tiny life with an oh so giant heart ... sigh. √√√√
I will be queen of my own little creative empire. (sort of ... gettin' there)

and speaking of stuck, how could I have even imagined the oh so giant heart I'd have
I honestly never believed I'd ever love a human being like this, like this big ol' heart full of love
& for you - the song which will be stuck in your mind all day long ... guaranteed

There you go making my heart beat again
Heart beat again, heart beat again

  4. I have been visiting here for a long time, and I love seeing the happiness and contentment.
    Your gift of sea glass started me on a hobby of collecting it, and I love it.

  5. I found your blog today :)
    Love your beach treasures...great stuff! I'm a collector also...I collect far too many things, but I love it to pick up things from the street. Stones, feathers, washers, bottle caps and similar things, but I am especially drawn to rusty and grungy stuff. I'm always looking at the ground wherever I go, hoping to see something interesting to incorporate in my art work.

    Happy Spring,
    Gaby
