Where does the time go?

Here it is, months since I've even looked at this blog....where does the time go? Since my last blog seems like much has gone down. Summer has passed, fall is almost gone with us being half way through November, & this is the time of the year to be thinking about the winter camp.

My garden is pretty much laid to rest for the year, wood pile reasonably ready for winter (still want to get 2-3 cords more), & I am ready to just sit by the wood stove & contemplate 2015.

This year has been a very good one for me & I am very grateful to the Great Mystery for this. Past couple of year's almost broke me. But somehow I have healed. I believe this is completely because of my community. I feel mentally healthier than I have in a long......time. I have quality friends with fill my days with positive experiences. I am part of a clan. And I am finally at the stage where I can stop working so much on my little spot of ground & add aesthetics to the scheme of things.

I sit on my porch & gaze into the woods & feel part of the natural world. I am so very lucky to NOT be gazing into the backyard of a neighbor!!

The spiral of life

This is one of those ramblin' blog entries that has no purpose, other than to give thanks & note the passage of time. Fortunately, I'm probably the only one who will read this! But if for some reason someone IS reading this, please take a moment to give thanks for all you have in your life.  And the kindred that surround you....life is good.....
