delicate.

Branch

Delicate. Fragile. Endearing. Subtle. Dreamy. Wistful.

This photo brings all of these words to mind for me. It also makes me think about lately I just haven't had the energy to write. It could be the lack of sunshine or the fact that I am not one for just slapping together a post without giving it some thought.

Quality is better than quantity.

The only thing that differs in the blogosphere is that your fans/followers expect a certain amount of product. I know in the past few months I haven't been giving it everything that I could. I am a little distracted & I will reveal my distractions soon enough. The multiple distractions in our lives in the past two months have required a lot more time and effort than I had originally intended. All good things though.

If only the race to the finish line was in sight. I sometimes wonder if we ever get a glimpse of the finish line in life. Every year about this time I start to reflect on the past year. This year, bar-none has gone by faster than any other year I have lived. I thought by now things would have slowed down a little. Boy, was I wrong. I have started to accept that once one thing slows down another one begins. If for nothing else, one can never grow bored. It also, as of late, also seems that one can never rest to catch their breath.

This brings me back to the photo above. I find it quite tranquil. It's simple, yet you cannot stop looking into the distance (the first exposure). And this, is what we all do day after day... look ahead to the distance to see what lies ahead.

If you are still following our lamentably sporadic posts, what do you do to stay focused on the future without being overwhelmed? :)

Swing.

Swing!

A swing is a swing, right? Whether it's a swing and a miss or an ace in the hole, it's still a swing.

Taking a swing means you at least step up to the plate.

I've never been much of a golfer. Always wanted to learn and always got frustrated by how slow my results were. Golfing for me was always a swing and a miss. Eventually I am able to connect, but I think all the years I spent playing baseball really messed up my form (or in this case: severe lack of form). Plus once I do connect, I always feel like I could have picked the ball up and thrown it further. *sigh

Maybe it's a past time I will pick up again sometime soon. Now if only I had time to take lessons and winter wasn't as it seems days upon us.

Here's to at least taking a swing. Cheers!
