Saturday



I got out of my apartment and took a walk at this spot in the Ocala Forest, the Sunny Hills Restoration Area. I've been holed up on weekends lately, laying low, and it was nice to get out for a walk.



That Spanish Moss is hanging everywhere down here. If you stand around long enough, it'll be hanging off of you.

I guess I have a few 'life things' to report...since my last post...gees...I'm just not posting here much at all lately. But:

Sister #1: A guy proposed to her, and she said his voice is like Elvis's. He's having a rough time because his mother is really sick, dying. So the new love has got stressful factors on it already.

Sister #2: There was a fire in her building, and while nobody was hurt, the building might have to be condemned because of structural damage. The fumes were so bad in there, the firemen would only let them in fifteen minutes at a time. She had to plead with them so they'd let somebody go in and get her medicine and her son's and husband's medicines. A few people in the building got checks from the Red Cross already. My sister really needs to get the hell off that street...out of that neighborhood...but she's stuck.

That's about it. I sent a 'Change of Major' form to the university. I'm changing to accounting. Yep. Gonna take a class or two at a time. I'm keeping the writing dream - believe it. I'm going to pursue the dream at night and the work during the day. The dream is the writing, the work is the work...accounting work. Hopefully my novel will be published and I'll make a gazzillion dollars off it or whatever before I get very far in the accounting curriculum.

My mentals are good I guess. The more you try to evaluate your mood, the more you realize it'll never be perfect. Anger is like spilled sauce, don't get none on ya! Or it's like a... *smell* ...I'm just being mindful in my moments, hearing the furthest bird chirp...refusing to view life from within my problems - viewing my problems as passing dots in my lifescape.

I love the picture of the tree with the Spanish moss. I've never seen anything like that before. Awesome.

I'm glad to hear that you still have a job. These days we just may have to take what we can get and make the best of it.

Good to hear from you here...although I do follow your tweets :-)
I get paranoid about my I.T. dept. too, but it is always temporary. I tell myself they must have better things to do...

Beautiful photos.
Glad you are still employed.
Making a living is good - following your dream even better.
Funny - I'm sorta coming to the same conclusion about evaluating mood.
