"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with." Dorothy Gail in "The Wizard of Oz"

Whatever happens around you, don't take it personally... Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. - Don Miguel Ruiz

It's Wednesday, hump day, as we Americans say. I'm on to day 2 of blogging, not really knowing what I'm doing, yet. There must be more to this other than merely writing. Like attaching links and pics and things like that. I need to learn all this, while also maintaining my house and daily to-do things. For now, I'll just write...but where to start on the writing part! Well, I haven't felt too domestic lately. I'm just very dreamy these days...wishing I could jump on a plane and go to Italy or France or somewhere fantastical. Probably all the down time I've had this summer. Getting lazy, drinking coffee all morning, eating breakfast at 10:00, staying in Pjs until, well, right now! Taking late night hot baths and then staying up till wee hours watching free movies I get at the library. Or on Hulu, also free:) The summer has been quite nice actually, I'm not complaining. But it does leave time for getting all whimsical and dreamy and...lazy! To contrast: A typical REGULAR day during the school year starts early with the kids getting ready for school and then getting them there on time! After school we are off to activities or appts, doing homework and the day just goes by like a freight train rushing down the tracks. But now, with my work gone (FL office closed, shut down and bye bye working woman), and the kids home there's been lots of time to dream and think and those little spirit wings begin to sprout again. It's the way I love to be, but I must be careful. Freedom also brings bondage. You'd have to be me to understand that in it's full sense. Anyway, moving on...The last couple days have been quiet because my younger son is at sleep away camp. It feels crazy, this sound of silence in our home. I do miss him, his beautiful eyes and the hugs we share. But back to my summer here, I've had time to contemplate some business ideas. Two actually. One I had been thinking about since losing my job. I was pretty determined to see if it would work, did the research and set out to find buildings, but financially, I just don't think I can make it happen right now. So, off to business idea #2. Yes, I think I can make this one work! Not too much of an upfront investment...mainly just the legwork to find the clients. Haha, I'm not telling what though, but I'm quite excited at the idea, which was sparked by something I saw in a movie:) Let's see what blossoms from my spunky ideas. Both businesses have to do with what I love. I can't wait to see what happens! Stay tuned......:)
Okay, I'm changing gears, being random, as I like to be. Here is a simple little quote from Elizabeth Gilbert, who, by the way, happens to have a brilliant thought process. Here it is: L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle. It's Italian and translates, The love that moves the sun and other stars. Isn't that simply beautiful?! I would love to know if anyone has found that love. I know a couple that just married. They have it. And don't read that wrong, I have a great love. But...I'm talking about moving the sun and other stars. Ha! This is my quirky randomness here. I just started a blog so give me a break while I explore my thoughts. I write Virginia Woolf style anyway. You know, stream-of-consciousness. Well, if you've never heard of that or don't know what it is, look it up. I'm going to scoot along now and get my day going. Head out of the clouds and into the beautiful day!! Blessings to all you bloggers or whoever may be reading this. Love and light to you..

Some days … the whole world seems upside down. And then somehow, and probably, and when you least expect it, the world rights itself again. MG
