"Life itself is the proper binge."---Julia ChildWhen I stopped working at my job this month, it never occurred to me that life could be this good. First my collage class, now Finding Water. I'm anticipating the "goodly walks" and Artist Dates. I don't think I've ever had so much fun before. I've ventured out slowly and tentatively, afraid that it might be too good to be true. But this in truth is life, and life can be good and happy and fun, and this is what I'm finding out.
I walked yesterday for the first time in a while with DS. I wore my new miracle Dansko's that are providing a healing cradle for my left foot to recover from tendonitis. Hubbie makes fun of these, but they are SO comfie. They do look silly. I love them.
My favorite time this month so far has been talking at DS's house with her husband and another friend. About thoughts and ideas. Drinking tea. It reminded me of all the talks I had in college in groups of like-minded people. We whiled away the afternoon, something I'd have never done before without watching the clock. Pure indulgence.

i'm so glad that you are doing finding water!! it sounds like things are going wonderfully for you, how awesome to feel like you're at a point where you are finding life to be good and happy and fun!!
i have dansko shoes too! they're so comfortable! i got them while in massage school because many of my teachers recommended them. they're great even if they look a little goofy. :-)
Oh yea, Leah, thanks! And thanks for starting Finding Water with Jessie. What an exceptional idea.
Your afternoon tea+talk sounded heavenly! Reading your post, I realized I was supposed to start doing my morning pages TODAY for Finding Water. *GULP*. Oh well, tomorrow will be my first day. :)
It's nice that we don't have to be perfect :) I never am, and I'm as proud of that now as I was proud before in my attempts at perfectionism. Wabi sabi. It's so much fun being human.
Carla, I love your blog so much. I'm a subscriber, and read each post. It is truly restful, an oasis. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Enjoy your first day tomorrow!

Awww, thanks so much, Jessie for the kind words. Hubbie took that beautiful flower photo; flowers are his specialty. Please do come back often---Aloha and Mahalo!
Oh, and Jessie (I just realized which Jessie you were), thank you so much for starting the Finding Water group with Leah. I can tell that this is going to be an incredible experience for all of us.
Thanks, Melba. Hubbie is a talented photographer; I will post more of his pictures.
I LOVE YOUR COLLAGES! What a great idea to invite feedback and activity and to share your work. I would unfortunately seldom take the time to really look deeply at someone's art, but I did, and am so glad. You have a unique style---keep it up!
