Life

This morning I woke to the sound of a rooster heralding the dawn.  In the previous three days I lead a country life.  I watched salmon spawning in a stream.  I picked wild almonds.  I harvested apples, persimmons, olives and pomegranates.  I cooked DELICIOUS FRESH food with FRIENDS.  I fed miniature horses.  I read.  We sat communing around the table each night after dinner listening to music or reading something of interest aloud and then discussing it.  (We never made it to the Scrabble game.)

Last year on the same weekend I saw the biggest party weekend of my life.  It was *almost too much* fun.  I wasn't lead in that direction for 2005.  This difference is indicative of a larger change in me.  I am no longer the avid party girl.  I am growing into a new stage of womanhood.  I'll still go dancing, but my friendships are now built on more than this.

In the next 24 hours I should have both my Elph and DSL in working order.  I know I've been MIA; I'll be back here soon.

Hugs,

M
