moving onwards

Life is moving on.  I am moving my thoughts and writing over to a blog in my name only:   ramonawildeman  see you over there.

Good golly.  Where does the time go?  Seriously.  It is almost the end of March.  Soon it will be officially spring  Winter here on the west coast was one of the mildest non events in years.  I have been missing my DSLR alot these past few weeks.  It was stolen last year - I have not replaced it.  It is not at the top of the list.  I have my canon I can use  I have film.  I am out of the habit.  So as much as I miss using the camera - I need to make the effort to retrain myself.  We are going on a wee bit of trip next week  I will bring my camera.  

What else is going on?  It is Lent.  I have been sitting on the outside looking in.  

We are wrapping our brains around the idea that we might be moving.  Don't I say that every couple of years?

Spring cleaning and sorting.

Some serious changes happening at work.  Things to be sorted out.  In the meantime we keep trying to publish a newspaper.

Garbage day today.

finding the balance

officially past the middle of february.  unreal. time just keeps ticking ticking ticking into the future.  i am struggling to move beyond the place i am stuck. no. i am not struggling.  i am battling.  it is an active fight.  i have things i can do.  one is to start taking photos again.  do the work.  so above, you have a few photos from New Year's Eve. taken with the canon ae-1.  film.  i have a new battery for my light meter.  little things.

i am also still employed at the newspaper.  that is a very good thing. the industry is precarious at best so i am thankful for the job.  i am also working very hard at new business venture.  this will eventually allow me more time to do some creative work.  the balance is finding the time now which inspires me to do the work which in turn will give me more time to do the art.  you see?

exercise is also key.  i am back in the 5am club.  sheesh. those dues are hard.  but.it totally works.  up at 5am -  exercise.  read a good book.  write a few thoughts.  the day goes my more smoothly. overall i more productive. sleep is essential.  so priorities have to shift.  this year is going to be different.  i can sense it in my bones. onward people.  forward.

We walked both dogs today; Echo and Duke.  I think the Husky and Lab are becoming buddies.

New year New Me

Resolving to stand here in the light more often.  Thankful for all my friends and family.  Ready to move on.
