_{The moon from our driveway at 11:30ish on New Year’s Eve, 2022… being a brat and reminding me that that the light won’t go out just because I won’t look at it 😀}

So… Y’all, I’m stubborn. I mean really stubborn. I mean really, REALLY stubborn. I’m a Taurus if that tells you anything.

At least 4 different times in my life I have said out LOUD:

“I’m gonna put myself out as an artist!”

“I’m gonna photograph!”

“I’m gonna write!”

“I’m gonna do it!”

“I’m gonna, like, create stuff!”

And at least 4 times I’ve said OUT LOUDER:

“Nope!”

“That sh*t’s scary!”

“I don’t need that!”

“I’m good!…I’m good… Really, It’s fine!”

“There are just too many other priorities in my life right now. . .”

“NOPE! No time for that!”

The truth is… sharing creative thoughts and ideas is some SCARY sh*t, but it turns out it’s something I do need. Shutting it out has not left me good or fine. It’s left me cranky. And as it turns out, one by one the priorities that I have thrown in front of it have all resolved themselves… and at this point in my life…. I actually DO have time for that. Well, <insert profanity of your choice here> !!!.

(I used the big one, but that’s kinda rude.)

So, here we go, again…

One year after my last attempt, the moon decided to prove to me that no matter how tightly I may lock it up… that spark’s not going anywhere and in fact the longer it sits in darkness, the brighter it gets. . . Brat!

(It wasn’t even a FULL moon, that’s just how the meanie photographed!!!)

I don’t know if the thoughts or ideas or whatevers that happen to come out of my brain are worth sharing, but I do know where I will be putting them if you happen to want to tag along. It’ll be right here… And so will I . . . Doing stuff, posting things, trying to have a little fun with it for a change. Sharing the nuttiness that lives in my head, consequently making room for new nuttiness because that seems to be how it works.

S’all good. . . . . . . . . I think.

Yeah… S’all good.

Happy New Year, Y’all!!

Love, M
