It's been quite a long time since I have blogged. It seems like every now and again I get into this funk and can't get out. So many things have happened in the almost year that I dropped off. I quit a job and started a new one in March. It's with hospice, its on call so I work out of my home but then visit patients as needed. I actually have a life again. And I absolutely love my job. The saying "find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life" is so true.
There *is* one problem though - I go many days and never have to leave the house. After awhile, you get in this mode of not wanting to get dressed to leave the house.
My mom passed away 2 years ago and I still miss her more than I can tell you. I truly feel like she is still around me. I get a scent of her - perfume, hairspray, just her "smell". I dream about her - the last week or so I've gotten a whiff of her and have dreamt about her the last week at least 2 -3 times.

I need to get back to zentangling, and with winter coming, I'm sure I'll be getting back into it. I actually tried to zentangle some sea shells the other day. In doing so, I realize that having not zentangled in quite awhile, I forget a lot of the patterns and feel like I need to practice all over again.  Does anyone else do that? Here's my first seashell attempt: ok so it's not 100% zentangle, but it was fun!

ok, so I am going to start blogging again and drawing again. It may not always be zentangle but we'll see!
