Spring Break....

I haven't been on a Spring Break vacation since I was an undergrad and that was around 1999. So, here I am mid-week of my "break" and I'm finally just getting a feeling that yes, this is a break. Starting old unfinished craft projects and spending some time with new friends. I'm loving these days of almost 70 degree weather and we're expecting snow storms soon..yuck. I'm tired of the snow!!! But spring is officially in the air. Hope you're doing well.

I finally finished my papers, folks. And man, it was hard. But, it's done and I think I did a pretty good job. Today, we will probably do a little bit of everything, make some bread, adventures outside, and I'm definately in the mood to craft. Hubby is back from sunny Orlando and I am going Salsa dancing tomorrow night with a new and dear friend! Gonna put on my dancin' shoes baby!!! Happy Friday, everyone!

Mr. Tree Man, help me?!

After a morning of Tassajara pancakes, we went for a mid-morning stroll around our neighborhood, downtown Louisville, to Leah's house, to the library, and back home. The boys are reading new books and I well, am Procrastinating. But here, the camera is back, so photos to share.

Yes, folks... Procrastination! It's what I have right now. It's with a capital P and mostly because this week I have 3 papers due. You know, no one told me grad school would be easy, but c'mon, 3 in one week?! Argh! I'll do it, I will. I mean I have to, right? And I'll do it and then I'll be done. Finished. And all will be fine. Right?

Sometimes...

I know exactly what I am going to post. You know, words that arrive from thoughts about something, anything, really. And sometimes it works out great and others, well, it's a medium range of okayness. Some posts have pics of my life, of my going-ons, and other posts, well, they are just words...like these. So what I'm going to type, is about how I'm feeling, at this very moment. Get ready, here it comes:

I feel like my heart is floating somewhere deep in my body and not where it normally is. Maybe it's from a day of meditating with full awareness of my breath, with thoughts running around like animals looking for a home. Or maybe it's because I was so moved by my Prenatal Yoga class and the Mamas in it. Oh the mamas, how I love them so and every time I begin my class, I feel so at home, at peace, with my mamahood. Maybe it's the feeling of spring in the air that leaves my heart floating somewhere outside my body. Even as graceful chunks of snow landed on my hands today, I can feel spring. Maybe my heart is a flutter because I am so moved while watching dear hubby sleep peacefully on the couch, from a long day at work, and perplexed by the changes in our lives. Maybe it's because my moon cycle is in full swing and I'm sitting with the fact that right now, I'm all woman.

Whatever it is, I'm feeling it. Like nothing else. Something pulling at my heart, my thoughts, and all I can think of is how my heart has a mind...sitting there in stillness, in awe of the rawness of life, facing fear like a warrior, and knowing that this life of mine is a journey to the depths of who I am.
