So You are Wondering....

...what I have accomplished since I have been away?

Hummm, good question....

Projects are exciting; they fuel us - help us to feel accomplished. It's wonderful to say, "Look what I did!"

But life is about maintenence, isn't it? Keeping balance, moving along, taking every tiny step.

It's easy to think that the maintenence is boring or that it is not enough. I often feel pushed to do more, to be productive.

Doing laundry is maintenence, making dinner is maintenence, cleaning the bathroom is maintenence.

Making my kids pancakes on a snowy day is maintenence, too. Being able to give them a kiss good bye in the morning, helping them find their socks, checking to make sure the lunch they packed is healthy -- all maintenence. And part of the exciting project, too.

So what have I been doing since January 3rd and my last post: Glorious, wonderful, maintenence.

Oh, that and I finally gave up coffee.

I start my day with a maintaining cup of tea.

Life is Big.
