I have not added notes to this blog in quite a while. Life has taken me through some rough patches since my last post. A bout with breast cancer, a double mastectomy, more and more health issues culminating in quite a health scare three weeks ago. I have not returned to Oz since 2018 thanks to a pandemic and now some rough times we are enduring in the USA. Nonetheless, my heart lives in that far away land that I love. Summers are still spent in Maine. And soon in less than a year, I move up north to our land in this state. Retirement is months away and the third act of life is soon to arrive for me. I look forward to more time to enjoy my art , my writing and being present in this world. A life well lived is the goal as I culminate my last year of twenty five as a college professor. On to better days, free from everyday pressures and hassles. Free to let my spirit roam as it wills like it always has. Being present, grateful in a state of calm , peace and joy. Past and present photos collide along with some new hobbies and examples of my art . I have returned to writing journals and delving in to the stationary world of travelers notebooks and fountain pens. I live in that quiet space of my mind where words are insufficient to express my feelings and thoughts. Silence and quiet is place and space I prefer.
