I Hafta Start Somewhere....

i am back home,

missed a whole night of sleep,

already mama to a beautiful new (and needy) pup

(more on that later!)

 trying to pick up where i left off

reeling from all that needs to be done

wrapping my rusty brain around

details that were left undone

taxes, dr. appointments, deadlines….. on and on

 realizing that i have over 1400 pics to wade through….

…and loving that….

because it brings me back

helps me realize that these new experiences

are now a part of me

these are much more

than just pretty images to me

they represent a reality

that was part of my life

for two whole weeks

 and because of that reality

i am not the same as i was

 so, yea, it’s a little overwhelming

and i have so much to share….

 but i have to start somewhere

and i’m happy to do it!

so i hope you enjoy this little sampling

of the lushness and extreme diversity

that is the BIG ISLAND!

oh - some not-so-happy retreat news here.
