One New Adventure

Sabbatical adventures, when do they start?

Immediately, when all the pressure was off -- "to preform"-- I picked up my camera.  I found myself walking out the door to the post office and grabbing my camera!  Odd.  It hung from the dining room chair finial for the longest time.  Oh, I used it, for taking pictures of my finished products to list in my online shop.  But, taking pictures just for the fun of it?  Not often enough!

Today it was rainy, again, but I took the camera while we drove to the post office.  I took some pictures as we drove,



while I was sitting in the car waiting for hubs to come out with the mail,



and later when I went on an errand.  Before I got to my destination, I got a coke at the local drive-thru, sat in the parking lot and snapped a few out the car window!  Then when I got home, I went outside my bedroom window and snapped a few more.

Sabbatical is like these next pictures -- going from a gray late winter day,


looking more closely  . . . .


zooming in . . . .


to an awesome moment!



Taking pictures--always something that I wanted to be better at and being a better photographer.  It takes time to see what is really there.

Yes! The adventure begins!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new adventure! 

This being my sabbatical "year"-- although not really a year, but an extended break from many things that I have been involved with for the last six years--  I intend to unplug, be free, and explore new adventures. 

Why am I taking this break?  I want to explore new, simple pleasures that I have not had time to explore.  My life has been like a written page with all the space taken up, even scribbles in the margins.

I want to explore what has been lurking in my mind--just off the page. I want to explore new artistic avenues, and write what has been stuck in the back of my mind.

I cannot even predict how this will turn out in the end, but should be a great adventure!  If you have even a small latent desire to be authentic in your own life -- I hope you will join me and follow along with my adventures!
