Rediscovering

A new job,

so many surprising things. 

Rediscovering myself, 

finding out that there is still 

so much to celebrate 

so many adventures to be had. 

It really is unlocking a new Odyssey

Having a sad

Pictures like this 

Remind me both what was created

And what was lost. 

It is a struggle 

To see what comes next. 

Tease

Oh new life,

You are teasing me with

So many possibilities 

Now is the time to think 

Carefully and not rush ahead

In a coffee induced haze 

Hard to keep my focus. 

Possibilities

At this time

Everything seems 

Possible and 

Impossible 

Simultaneously 

Make me want to nap! 

Demons small and large

Be GONE demons of doubt and depression.
You have no sway here.
We will keep on keeping on and find our smiles along the way.
The support of friends, family and the community are stronger than your scary self.
I will channel my inner "sasha fierce" and keep up the good fight.

Chillin

It's a work day

But...

Really can't complain! 

Selling BBQ in this place 

Is quite the combination 

Of work and not 

working together

Working in the fall, on the porch
with those I love!
very nice way to build a life.

Sometimes it is easy in all the obligations and details and paperwork
to forget that it is about the food and making things taste great
and sharing that with others. That is what makes me passionate.
That is the reason.

half time

These days,
1/2 the time it is going right
sometimes better than right.

...but just don't ask me about the other half

Biting Off More Than You Can Chew

Doing what you already know is comfortable. It is easy, And it makes us feel successful.

Attempting something big, something beyond our reach, something larger than life is out there. The exposure along can send me running for an afternoon nap under the quilt on the couch. But the things I have learned in life generally come from leaping in, trying, sometimes crashing and burning. But lifting the heavy stuff, not just the twigs. Not easy. Not safe. But for me it is what makes it worth while.
