…here! I’m normally at least a day or too late at checking out this site. Jen Gray is a great photographer and often has some really beautiful posts that speak to the soul.  Today was no exception!

Somedays I like just putting my iPod on shuffle and seeing where the music leads – wondering what will be played next and being reminded of songs I’d forgotten were on certain albums!  This morning, as I wrapped up warm to brave the cold with the dog, I put my headphones on, clicked on shuffle [...]

A while since I felt like I had any energy left after coming home from work, or doing the things that need doing around this house. It’s been a while since I valued looking after me as much as doing things for others. But tonight I was taking time to catch up on my RSS [...]

It’s storming here tonight, has been for the last 3 hours or so with the weather folks saying it’ll finally pass through between midnight & 2am. I do like storms – it feels like a performance put on by nature to showcase just how big the world is and how small I am. Tonight though, [...]
