I'm Baaaaack!
Grieving is a little like flies around an outhouse. Buzzing around, not really causing any harm but being an annoyance.
I awoke this morning to a new day. My daily routine is to walk out into the front yard to pick up the newspaper (the funnies await!) and look around and say, "Thank you, Lord, for a new day. Help me seize this day to your honor."
And so I shall.
In the midst of last night's funk, I did get some productive work done. I'm applying to the Santa Fe Workshops. They have many workshops but the one that interests me is on the subject of stock photography -- how to shoot it and how to sell it. Among the requirements is submitting 20 images. In the process of going over my photography, I found some very nice images. It's interesting to look at it as a single body of work, peering over the shoulder of time as though somebody else did it.
Pretty nice stuff! I could actually make it as a stock photographer and travel photographer/writer. Oh yeah, I know, every guy my age has the same idea.
But I've actually got the chops to do it!
So I printed out 20 prints last night.
Good exercise. Cleared my head; revived my spirits. A new day awaits.
Boogie on!

Remember the children's book, The Velveteen Rabbit? In it one of the toys (the horse?) was telling the other toys about how to become real (come to life). The wisdom was- in order to be real- you had to be dearly loved for a very long time.
Sounds like you made it.
Thanks for being real when there are so many other alternatives.
Good job.
