Here We Go

Several months ago while surfing the net for new blogs to read, I found this one
 http://3x3x365.blogspot.com/

I have been following the three women and their daily posts ever since.

I love reading about their lives.

Sometimes I wonder why I am so fascinated with reading about women whom

I will probably never meet.

I admit I have copied their format. Girls, will you forgive me?

I did find out who Patti Digh is, and ordered some of her books.

I read one, Life is a Verb.

I guess I am a slacker because a few weeks back, I opened the blog for the day.

Surprise! There was a picture of Patti with a friend of mine, Tammy.

My immediate reaction was to feel somehow cheated. I wanted to meet Patti too.

The past several months have been a blur for me.

 Finally, the sun is here to stay, hopefully. I am newly energized.

For the past several days, I have been busily planting flowers. Lots of them.

I am never happier than when I have dirt under my fingernails, and sweat running in rivulets down my back.

I have bid Adieu to my old blog

Funny how the final post seems so gruesome. Prophetic.

Not in a literal way, but figuratively. 

The prompt came from another blog I follow, and sometimes make contributions

I love to free write using Willow's picture prompts. 

I enjoy reading other author's responses to the prompts, but only after I have written my own.
I never read another author's submission first.

Right after the Murderess post, life got very difficult for me.

I quit writing.

I would still go to my monthly writer's meetings, but could not generate anything new to share.

So let's get back to the reason for this new blog.

I woke up after a week of packing and moving boxes (my school is moving AGAIN).

I basked in glorious sunshine, I planted my favorite posies, and said goodbye to students.

I thought to myself, I need a fresh start.

So here it is.

If it works for Patti, Amy and Kathryn
maybe it will work for me too.

One A Day
One picture, one thought.
Wish me luck.
