Peep words of wisdom

 For over a decade, my Lenten discipline has been playing with Peeps -

yup, the Easter candy synonymous with the holiday

and either loved or despised by millions. 

I don't eat them, but they make great models

and alter egos for my thoughts.

 

Here are some from this year.

Words of wisdom

 

My grandmother once gave me a tip:

in difficult times, you move forward in small steps .

 

Do what you have to do, but little by little.

 

Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.

 

Wash the dishes.

Remove the dust.

Write a letter.

Make soup.

 

You see?

You are advancing step by step.

 Take a step and stop.

Rest a little.

Praise yourself.

Take another step.

Then another.

You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more.

 

And the time will come when you can think about the future

without crying. 

Praying she's right.

Still waiting.

 

Oy Vey

 Anyone else breathing into paper bags these days, 

trying not to pass out with all the chaos

and destruction?

Good grief!

 

Yes, I totally agree with

 'looking for the joy in every day',

and I do.

 

But that doesn't mean I'm blind to the rest of the crap that's going on.

No dic tator!

 

 

Update

Is it just me - or have the last few months gone by in a blur for anyone else/

It was wonderful to have both guys in town

and the days went by too quickly.

Although it rained on Christmas Day,

we subsequently got almost 10" of snow -

enough for sledding on Art Hill

and making the requisite snowman.

Have to be honest, 

I'm still trying to find my footing following the election results,

the recent inauguration

and dealing with the resultant chaos.

I might be heavy on images for awhile

since words about the state in which we find ourselves escapes me.

Circling the drain.

I had a WONDERFUL time playing with AI

and creating an image which captures the goal for my ongoing effort to grow my hair out.

This is the goal -

one long grey braid over my shoulder,

looking like all the other vintage hippy crones in Taos.

My hair is shoulder length at this point

and it will be awhile before the braiding starts -

but we all need a vision to shoot for, right?
