Trying to keep up

Uggg. So I just haven't had the wherewithall to blog lately. Not a bad thing; I've been doing this for at least 5-6 years and sometimes I just don't feel like it. But, I like to keep my family and friends up to date with what we're up to, so I thought I'd post exactly that: an update. :)

Let's see... we went to Northern CA in August to go camping in the Redwoods with my best girlfriends. It was fantastic, as always. Those trees... those trees... what is it about them? I find myself walking amongst them, feeling like my life is insignificant and small at best - but that's a good thing, as it is - in a way - a connection to my creator in that I realize there is something bigger and more important out there than me. I still don't know what that means, but it's a sense of calm that feels good. (and not to get off on that tangent, but don't need no stinking church or stupid pastor or whoever to teach you that when you experience it in nature.)




I think this pretty much says it all! Steinbeck had it right.

We also spent a fair amount of time with our friends, just hanging out around the campfire. Can't beat two days of relaxation when you are forced to shut down and stop worrying about the world. Great food, great friends, peace and love are pretty much what defined the weekend!



It was much needed R&R, cause surviving the CA economy right now is a challenge. It's not just the business aspect; it's the emotional aspect. We've seen good clients come and go because of jobs lost, failed marriages, foreclosures... and say what you want, but day after day of bad news does take it's toll on you after a while.

So a dose of Redwoods was just what we needed. :)
