February 7, 2016: Back In the Saddle Again


Life has taken a turn for the better and I received word that my disability claim was accepted after almost 2 years.  I feel so free, it is kind of amazing.  I have felt so well I have gone out and taken pictures this week and worked on my book and worked on my project and written a few poems.  Oh what a little bit of good news and security will do for one.


 I tried out a space to photograph in today.  These are two of the pictures I took.  There maybe too much light in the space, although I am drawn to it for it is a lot like my childhood home. The shadows are interesting, but I think I want angles in the back ground.  I'm not sure. 
 I also read all 7000 words of Claudia Corrigan D'Arcy's blog yesterday and am wowed by how articulate she is about such an extremely complex situation.  Thank you, Claudia for writing your mind and heart.  It was inspirational for me.  It helped me write more and I am excited to pick up the pen again.

 It was Winter Carnival this weekend and I love the ice sculptures.  I didn't get a lot of good pictures of them though.  By the time I got out with my camera the sun had already been pouring down on them for a while.  Still, it was awfully pretty to look at.
So I feel back in the saddle and will begin to put together my book proposal.  I did finish the book I was told to read and I have contacted the women whose stories I want to use for the proposal.  So wish me luck and here it goes again.

Oh, by the way, my back is much better.  Thank you, Robin and the Y and Karen.  I know you are and will continue to be the reason I am able to do any of this.   HUGS
