Bon Hiver

Bon hiver, meaning good winter, was the name of one of my favorite episodes on the television show, Northern Exposure. It was all about the anticipation and the excitement of waiting for winter to show up and when it finally does at the end of the episode, people gather in the streets and begin calling out bon hiver to one another. Well , I am ready for winter to show up because I am so ready to hibernate with my books, hot chocolate, blankets, my two fireplaces, hot soup, stews and my honey. I have to say that this is the first time in my life that I have really put myself out in the public eye and as a result, I am feeling pretty drained and I can not wait to start filling myself up by doing lots of creative activities. I want to paint and write all winter. So, I am ready to plant my seeds and nourish them so that when spring springs forth, I will blossom in many directions at once. Bon Hiver!

Trying to get it together

Too much

I am really trying to do way too much these days and a lot of stuff is falling by the way side because there is just too much going on.  I have the feeling that I want to do it all but it is starting to be a little overwhelming, So I am going to step back from doing  all of the new stuff so much and fall back to some of my old standards.  I need to sew, read, play my guitar and study my spanish.  If I do these things, I will feel a whole lot better.  So far, I haven't been able to think about painting but, I hope I will do it soon.  I am having a lot of fun on facebook and doing this blog and  now, I have something new to occupy my time and that is, everyday goddesses and it is marvelous and I really want to get into that site but I have got to take it slow.  So what it pans out to is,  I am trying to walk around the marina in the morning, do all of my online stuff, watching that new damn idiot box because it is a 58 inch plasma HD tv(mad at myself), guitar practice, sewing my outfits for my trip, spanish practice, reading, going to the museums, cafes, tearoom, writing, not painting, typing my morning pages, and what the hell!  No wonder I am feeling overwhelmed, this is too much.
