Borrowed watercolor scene.  From Pinterist.  This is private musings so I can borrow another's image to meditate on.

Begin 2014.  I am certain it will be less stressful in a negative way than last. 

2013, riff at beginning, very difficult new position in a new company.  Yet glad to have a position.  Painful to move - found had arthritis in both hips. With the pain and the new position the early months of 2013 were very hard.  I cried and cried, and hated everything.
I am sure I will rant about that later. 

Now beginning 2014 - the left hip working with new joint, the position a little more settled - things are looking "up".

I did write while at the cabin last summer.  Mostly spent time at the lake by myself or with a dog or both dogs. Writing was a way to vent and to take stock.  But it was frustrated writing - not creative - emoting.  But worthwhile.

Months later - many thoughts ago, quiet observations, leaning in and out...another story for another time.

I recently have begun to paint and art journal again.  I did take a poetry class and a journaling class.  I am beginning to get my groove back.

Deep cold, long winter.  Time to be quiet and pause.  Now looking forward to a more active warmth.
