"You haven't updated your blog in a while..." A comment found in a message from one of my friends today. I smiled. Reading these words, thinking to myself that I could have sworn I posted the yesterday, if not the day before. I checked my blog. Nope. Somehow when you're busy time seems to escape. Busy, is totally a matter of perception. Some people are good at multitasking, some people feel they can only handle one thing at a time--and some multitaskers should probably only handle one thing at a time.
As for this blog, some days making entries is so effortless, some days it is draining. Because my entries/thoughts are centered around a photo or two, it is difficult to make an entry if I have not been using my camera. Which is why it's been several days since my last entry. I keep trying to think of a photo to use.
I need my inspiration.
Looking at today's photo, while making this entry in the quietness of the house, I get a sense of peace and the beauty of nature. The only obvious thing noting the presence of mankind is the rippling of the waves towards the shoreline...
Distractions. My peripheral vision spies the snow falling outside the windows of my house, which adds to the beauty. My thoughts change to ideas about my next entry and the possibilities of blog entries I could make after taking wonderful photos of the snow.
FOCUS. Oh yeah, the reason I chose the photo. Although feelings of peacefulness arise when I look at this photo, there is also a reminder of change--for off in the distance lie glaciers that are receding from the water's edge. A sign of human presence and global warming. With that thought brought to the front of my mind, the feeling of peacefulness that I had experienced when initially looking at the photograph is tainted.
Perception.

oh kimi, i feel like such a celebrity that my fake name made your blog. this was a good one. i like you're blog, fun. thanks for giving props to joe. i'd never be smart enough to come up w/ a blog that doesn't have profanity in it.
I like your blog too... but in contrast to Alicia, I will say this particular entry made me kind of sad.
wait, wait... I didn't mean THIS entry. I meant the New Year one made me sad.
Thanks Alessia--I mean Alicia. You know I never call anybody by his/her correct name. I had to put the link in to your blog because I think the stuff Joe says is hilarious.
auntieB, the New Year entry was a huge realization about how huge the family tradition was on New Year's Day. Inspires me to possibly try my own thing some day.
