I have a fiendish habit of lamenting
yesterday and longing for the morrow.
Sometimes I rather forget all about
today and what it matters. It's rather
late in the day to be learning new
tricks perhaps, but I'd like to try. I
am determined to recognize TODAY,
enjoy TODAY, live TODAY. I recognize
it might be difficult as today is really
a new friend, but I'm going to try!
today is my song
i will sing it all day long
lyrics delightful

I confess to a small hiatus in despair.
There are days I think I'll never finish
with this moving business. I barely get
things placed and yet more boxes need
to be dealt with. This is what happens
when you move from a five gallon bucket
into an eighth of a teaspoon. I knew what
I was getting into, have no regrets, but
God! How does one woman have so many
possessions?! If I'm not careful, I might
actually learn a lesson here!
the days pass slowly
moving in out and around
when will it be done

Not sure exactly why, but I've been doing
this thing where I don't fall asleep until
around 3:00 a.m. The rest of the time is
spent wrestling with my demons, thinking
about things that would be better left alone
along with all my other impossible dreams.
What's that all about anyway?!
sleep or not to sleep
dream the impossible dream
that is my question

We went to my stepson's b-day celebration
last night. I was somewhat pleased that I was
able to party hearty without my usual ld antics.
This whole re-inventing myself is a ton of work,
let me tell you. I find myself in the midst of
deciding and clarifying who I want to be when
I grow up. This aging business, seeking wisdom,
getting ready for the next step, is heady business.
I become exhausted just thinking about it and
recognize that perhaps I'm ill prepared for the
endeavor.
dancing with demons
yes most if not all my own
please stop the music

'Twas a most wondrous day!
I always feel that way then the
Stone Sisters get together. I
find the conversations priceless
and on the bad end of the stick,
I imbibe too much but if you
were there, you would get it!
I think of the Michelangelo,
God reaching out to touch man . . .
and that is exactly how I feel.
These women reach out and
touch my soul; healing can't be
far behind.
in the land of the lost
our kinship brings a finding
so rich in friendship

A lovely day of friendship, sharing, song and food.
'Twas a day pulled straight out of heaven and just
what I needed. I tend to forget the wonders of
friendship until it simply explodes all around me.
That the gods gifts such as these!
of friendship i sing
celebrating our women
wonders to behold

Yet another pile of books found and housed
God in heaven, how many books can one
woman possibly have? Still, 'twas fun, as
well as useful, housing them. My sig-o put
up the last tea-cup shelf and my mimi book
case. I'm lusting after a hanging plant . . .
good thing the library doesn't have a jane
or I might just move it!
so loving her space
lusting after our lady
which book shall i choose

What a delicious day! Truly watching
Our Lady Arcadia coming together is
tantamount to viewing a birthing. My
son located one last box of books for
me yesterday. At first I was annoyed
as I had already finished that part of
the library. But truly, it ended up a
pleasure looking at each book, a yay
or a nay in the keeping of it, the
careful placing of it on the shelves,
observing the name tag and if there
were several by the same author,
making certain they were in order
as written. Step back, and wonders
to behold! Pull up a chair and simply
delight in the process as much as the
finished product. A library is born!
And her name is ARCADIA!!!
holding books in hand
the gift of the written word
boon of a lifetime

I finally housed the last box of books
in Our Lady Arcadia. There is something
so sweet about the final removal of
packing boxes from a beloved space. A
quick vacuum job, finish hanging a few
pictures, make sure the tea cups are dusted,
a couple of baskets of magazines and behold
a library is born. I simply had to sit and look,
really see, all that surrounded me. Such was
my joy that I wept copiously.

I've hit a snag . . . only one more box of books
to house and all I want to do is decorate. I put
the box behind the chair and let it rip. The
transformation from a late 1800's/early 1900's
garage to a functional library has been its own
Cinderella story. I simply couldn't wait, with
only one box left, to get this show on the road.
It's a tight fit but it works. My mind's eye can
easily see hours of pleasure, some solitude, a
few classes and much joy in the future. Who
knows, maybe today I'll house a few more
books; think I'll go for the poetry!!!

Catching me in the midst of hanging the
last of the art in Our Lady Arcadia . . .
organizing the last of the deets and one
last box of books to house. It's been so
much fun, really, recreating this much
missed space. Here at my tiny, tiny cabin,
'tis more than essential!
a delicious space
a dream made reality

I always loved and enjoyed my home
in the mountains. Yet, I have come to
believe there is actual magick at the
Lady Hekate. It's been a long haul
moving in, repairing, fixing, building,
but, that's to be expected. It's interesting
though, the comfort I feel in the library,
Our Lady Arcadia. I have to hope, believe
even, that there is actual healing taking
place there. I can only pray this is so . . .

Our Lady Arcadia is truly a creation in progress.
Each and every day she becomes more perfect
in every way. My sig-o has finished installing the
three-footed tea cup display and only one more
box of books to be placed. The children's books
are binned and at last, all has been vacuumed.
A dear friend graced this glorious space with her
presence and spent some sweet time with me
there. We shed tears, shared tales out of school
and imbibed some red. My heart kneels in awe
before the goddess of wisdom and her part in
bringing this dream to fruition.
