the innate sense of purpose and direction in my life is this: to love others and help them become whomever it is they are to become. to nurture and inspire the loving creative nature of people-whomever i encounter-so that they, in turn, might some day do the same for others, regardless of their chosen profession or path in life.
eventually i want to make a career out of offering art experiences, crafty adventures, creative fellowship, and the like to those who are lacking such outlets in their lives.

wireless at "home" is nice/being sick stinks/the road to "normalcy"

it's 1:30 am Indiana time...i just got in for a weekend of family birthday celebrations. we have LOTS of March b-days in our fam...Dad, Mom, big sis, and 3 nephews all with March b-days. now that people are scattered about, we pick a weekend for everyone to come together to celebrate them all. anyhoo, getting in so late is usually a drag bacause i'm a night owl and everyone else goes to bed pretty early. however, dad FINALLY installed a wireless router last time i was home so i can play on my laptop and keep myself entertained until i am ready to go to bed.

this evening i shall back track blog a little...since i've been absent due to sickness.

so i was hella sick for about 5 days before i got to go to the doctor, but god bless antibiotics because, 10 days of amoxicillin and a week of normal sleep later, i'm feeling MUCH better! still not 100% back to "normal"--being gone to a conference for work over a weekend and having to catch up with missed work when you get back will do that to you--but i'm on the road there, which feels GREAT!

other than getting over sickness, i've also been feeling more peppy now that the sun is beginning to shine more frequently. i get to feeling SO moody and gloomy during the winter months that once the sun begins to stick around more in early to mid March...it's almost euphoric. i'm more productive, i have more energy...i'm really beginning to think that i need to move somewhere where the sun has more of a year round presence. location suggestions welcomed.

it's times like this that i dream of going back to Maui. i visited Maui last summer with two of my best girlfriends...it was spectacular! here's a sample of the spectacularness:


nice, huh?!?!

well, it's getting late and i need to get some rest if i'm going to have energy for family time tomorrow.

goodnight moon, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere :)
