Dance in the Rain ...

It is a rainy Thursday here in New England. As I write this I can hear the cars going by, and splashing in the puddles. When I was younger, I did not like the rain. Somehow, Rainy days are refreshing to me as I get older. I think of it as a break from extremely warm days. Sort of like a cleansing for a better to come.

I have kept this photo for quite sometime, for the perfect post. I chose to use it today. Do you find yourself saving something for the right moment? Like using only the good china and flatware for the holidays? Or saving a new candle when company is coming over? Or holding onto a bottle of champagne for a special celebration? I would love to hear your thoughts ...

    Lovely photo Kristine!
    Yes, I do that all the time! I always have "something" put aside for people I love and want to surprise them when the moment is right. I even bought something for my husband as a part of the Christmas gift! I had to; it was so sweet, and I thought-"I'll buy it and hide it, because it might be sold later". :)

    Great hearing from you, Sonja - Yes - I would imagine that you are the type of person who keeps special things aside, for the right person - Very thoughtful. I love doing the same thing, it makes it extra special knowing we purchased these items with the person in mind :)

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Letters Across The Miles

LETTERS ACROSS THE MILES  Dear Jennifer, I am quite excited to be sharing this journey of "Old Fashioned Letter Writing" (online) with you ... It is a long lost personal touch that needs to be revisited. We live in a world of Tweets, IMs & text messages - Time to Get Back to Basics! I wanted to touch upon your recent thoughts on "Perfection". I, too, find myself procrastinating over starting new projects. The fear I will not be able to finish what I start. My second thought is failing myself for not going the distance. I was amazed with a few quick chats and we were out of the gate running with this new column - and new additions to our blogs, "Letters Across the Miles". I think this is the "Push" that we both needed to jump right in! Funny, how you also mentioned how our grade school teachers would ask us to "Show Them Our Work" when it came to Math problems ...and weaving this theme into real life. Can yo...
