It's been a long road
We had a nice Easter brunch with my brother, SIL and baby niece. Al and I trekked out to San Jose with my parents. It really was nice to have everyone together. I'm old enough to appreciate how much these brief meals together mean over time.
At home I've started scanning in all of my old photo albums. It started out as a Spring cleaning project. I ( Read more... ) -
Seattle visit
We took off for a Seattle visit recently. It was SO good for us, on many levels. First off it was good to get out of town for a while. Nothing wrong with the homestead, but being out of town is good for wider perspective thinking.

My understanding of homeopathy is deepening by the day. It amazes me on the deepest level what kind of health can be brought by this modality. It only makes me a little nuts to see how many ( Read more... ) -
new years
I have been slow lately. Slow in thinking, slow in acting. It's not depression or anything like that. I think it's more that I'm on the edge of burn out. I didn't get enough of a break at the end of the year to really recover from the year's worth of work. It's true it wasn't a demanding couple of weeks- but I just wanted to stay home and NOT work.
