I am grateful that I don't feel terribly guilty for not keeping up with the GP this year. My life is in transition right now, and not having the time or energy for all of my Witchy doings is temporary, I'm sure. And if it isn't, well, that isn't the end of the world either.
I am grateful that I decided that it was a good idea to take a break and a vacation this fall rather than diving right into more courses, and killing myself with no end in site (after three or four weeks, not having a single day off starts to seriously drain a person).
I am grateful that my off and on again love affair with photography is mostly on again. I love learning new techniques, and finding subjects and beauty to share with the world - plus, I think I am getting pretty good at it too. Once you know about photography, tho, you start to look at magazine covers a little differently. It's weird, the person on the cover is 'a subject', and you start noticing whether or not the photographer is very good or if it could have been a better shot.
I am also grateful that among everything else, I have managed to keep up with my swimming. I am definitely starting to see some lovely definition in my upper arms and shoulders. Plus, my stamina is improving big time!
I have discovered that Red Bull is about the most potent stuff I have ever had before. I get jittery and bouncy after one, I don't understand how those people who drink four or six a day don't just explode.
I am still hoping to participate in NaNo this year. Don't really know if I will get a story done for the CBC contest or not. I have also been slowly working out the tangles in Ella - in the hopes of having at least one completed and maybe published novel to my name. Photography and writing can go together, can't they? Photos to pay the bills, and stories to ignite the soul?
I think I want to be a pirate when I grow up. I have this obsession going on with the kraken and the jolly roger (is it weird that my favorite character from those movies was the kraken?). I am also saving for a motorcycle (with a bright pink helment with the jolly roger on the side in black) and a guitar.
So, that is pretty much what is going on in my head these days. I do try and keep up with everyone when I get a chance, and I post blurbs on Twitter once in a while.
And now, back to the depths!
