It's been a long time
I haven't updated this blog in a long time, but now it is time to resume my blog-writing.
In the past few months, I have been writing a lot, but for myself. Now it is time to share again.
Just a few brief comments, though, in this posting.
a) I LOVE my new job. I finally feel like what I'm doing is personally meaningful and has a potential for impact. I'm also growing immensely (emotionally and intellectually.) Middle school was a nightmare time for me, and now, being in a middle school each day, I am actually happy!
b) It snowed last week. Here: this is a photo of the October 28th snowstorm. I couldn't get home that night, even. So many trees fell down. I didn't memorialize THAT; instead, I memorialized the beauty.
c) Clinton Area Stage Troupe involved me in their second production, a Ziegfeld style "Fall Follies". I played the piano and recited a poem (with comedic additions from a guitar player and other sound effects.) Clinton used to have two active theater groups, but they faded with time (and falling finances.) I hope that this theater picks up. We need the arts in this world.
Anyway, between the two performances, I walked to the lake and just sat there quietly, admiring the honking geese and ducks, the glimmering light reflections on the water, the steadfast mill. Above all, I loved watching the crescent moon rise and the stars push out, slowly, from the sunset to the night sky.
Yay, I'm glad you're back! I love the pictures of the snow and the moon. We must talk soon!
ReplyDeleteYay! You are back. I have been checking here every few days in hopes you would write again.
