I am sitting in my studio on this beautiful sunny morning watching Chip or is it Dale?, decimate my sunflower seed feeder. Even the threat of taxidermy doesn’t scare these stout-hearted buggers.
I am thirty days into my new phase of life. I have watched the changing light of Spring travel my windows and walls. I cultivate this fabulous show with strategically placed re-purposed chandelier crystals and “framed” CDs.
I have celebrated with loving family and friends.
I have completed a small project that has waited ten years to start…..
and finish. 
I am off to a good start. But still I feel my mind and body are in the fast lane of this commute. I am struggling with the transition to living in the slow lane. Maybe I need a change of scenery. Maybe I need a vacation?
Insert large smiley face here.
