this is the kind of day it's been
kinda reflects how i'm feeling
today
the inevitable low
following the high
and the remnants
of a weekend cold

a beautiful alternative

while in boston
i was thrilled to learn
of a dale chihuly exhibit
at the museum of fine arts
enough with the running
time to indulge
the creative spirit
and bask in the genius
of chihuly

i was told
i was on the wrong side
of the tracks
to get to washington square
i would need to go to the other side
the one where everyone else was
welcome to marathon monday
in boston

running
the b.a.a. 5k
around boston common
a bit of pre-marathon excitement
and yes, i took the time to shoot this picture
and still met my goal
of finishing in under 30 minutes!
jour 102::365
although the extended weekend
was tiring
i would have to protest
and declare that
boston was no drain
at all
but rather
quite a delight!

it is so late
and i am so tired
and i am so not ready for our trip
and this photo is so not worthy of #99
but alas

one of the many mysteries
of our quirky 100 year old house

if you should happen
to drive by dick's drive-in & dairy dip
on merivale road
you'll see this sign:
a show of support
for my hubby and good friends
who will be running
the boston marathon
on april 18th
he never told me
i'd see his name in lights...

a treasured find
at st-vinnie's today
a table runner
that may
or may not
run on my table
it's so pretty
it should be hanging on a wall
like art

his song is always
a welcome sign

a little neighbourhood humour
goes a long way
on a day
when the creative energy
seems fleeting
(as i approach my first 100 days of this 365 project, i am painfully aware of being in a total slump - and i need to let that be ok...)

jour 90::365 (sooc #8)
when the day is done
and i realize
once again
that the creative flow
barely trickles
i am reminded
that this current state is impermanent
and that
i
am
buddha-full

starry, starry night.
paint your palette blue and grey,
look out on a summer's day,
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

a beautiful morning
and a refreshing walk
with a lovely soul friend
led me to this
dramatic sky
and
confident tree
