January, 2014


Its January, 2014.  It's snowing outside & I have the day off from work.  Nice coincidence or perfect planning I must say.  And it's been a long, long time since I've held my Canon in my hands. I'm feeling both joy & guilt. My heart pitter pattered as I slipped in a battery & clicked on the switch.  Feels as if I've come back home.  Dusted off the cobwebs, pulled off the sheets, brewed a pot of tea & slipped into the groove. I'm in the mood to write (oh, just a wee bit) but I haven't much to say.  

I wish all of you, my friends, were on Instagram.  I seem to have deeply fallen in love with IG.  I am connected, minute by minute at times, with so many artists & people from near & far…right in the palm of my hand! No heavy laptop to carry, no heavy camera to haul. Just my iPhone, in my pocket. Whether I'm on the street corner, in the train station, at my kitchen table or on my way to work, as long as I'm charged up, I'm connected.  It's very visually stimulating, & so very easy.  

But with that ease of convenience comes a loss.  I haven't read a heartwarming or invigorating or educating blog in months.  I'm feeling an emptiness & a longing. I haven't seen your photos, L.A.R.G.E size & I miss your visual stimulation. I long for the beauty in the details.

So here I am, at my kitchen table: a scene you'd see on my IG.  But to all my beloved bloggers, this post is for you, with bigBIG hugs, & a whole lot of love!  I miss you all. I love you all. I, always, ALWAYS have you close to my "emoji" heart!

Now, I'm going to put on my snowsuit & head out into that magical, mystical, precipitation called snow!

  1. Blogger was misbehaving yesterday, let's see what it does today.
    What a delight to see you back...yes, it is easy to get caught into Instagram but your words are soothing and kindness drips from them. So lovely to see you and your familiar cozy tea room.

    xoxo

  2. Ha! I knew you couldn't stay away!
    I always think, maybe, MAYBE, th' Appy will show up today. I never give up on you.
    You sound good and light hearted with your hot tea and your snowsuit.
    Maybe I'll see you on Instagram. If I can figure it out. Hehe.
