Blogging

I was worried about this... I don't have anything profound to say! I wasn't sure if I had enough commentary to justify creating a blog. My life isn't particularly adventurous, just when the urge builds up and I need to do something new and exciting that scares the bajebbies out of me, say traveling about Europe with only a backpack or running a marathon in NYC. But I haven't felt that way in awhile. I've FINALLY found a job that I really like, I like my apartment, I like my friends and my church and most of all my family. I love being an aunty- Ashen and Torin are so cute, make me laugh so much and they're brilliant already!

So maybe it's okay to be in a place of just being. Not wanting to move onto the next thing, or needing to see what's ahead or looking toward the future too much. Hmm... I don't think I've ever really done that before. Maybe it's just related to the fact that I only have two weeks of vacation a year. I'm ready to go back to Italy or France or try somewhere new, like Ethiopia, but I think for now, I'll just hang out here as the right opportunity hasn't come along yet. So instead I'll run, sew, kayak, play...

. . .

So to change the subject completely... the WV Summer 2008 magazine just dropped and here is layout of my photo in the magazine. Mine is in the lower, right hand corner...

You sound really healthy to me. Many people have to take personal improvement courses to go do something that scares the bajebbers out of them, which is also known as Really Important and Healthy Personal Growth! It's really good that you do it on your own. Personally, I see nothing wrong with being content and serene in a good place. Isn't that what we work toward? And then we can jump off into those 'scare the bajebbers out of us' endeavors. I think your RIHPG is happening with your photography. Good stuff, just not quite as scary. Enough philosophizing already! Enjoy and love your photo in print. Huzzah! love, Dede

I meant enough philosophizing from ME, already, not you. D

You would be fun to travel with, Heidi. We should travel to Columbia City and eat some mac 'n cheese at Geraldine's counter.
