After the serious drought we have faced here in Georgia, the weather here has done a total 180. We've had so much rain the last many months. It's as if the gods decided to answer everyone's prayers all at once. Now the ground is saturated, it sounds like walking on a wet sponge. What a change from the hard baked earth of last year.
We've also already have some pretty darn cold weather for the South. If it continues to be wet and cold, we may have some nice snow. I like snow. I think if it's going to be bitterly cold, then it could at least snow. What we have most often here is hard frost. So I am going to pray we have a snowy winter and here is a picture I took the last time it snowed at my house.
This post isn't really about my art but it concerns creative thoughts so I wanted to share it. I have been through a troublesome time in my personal life for about the last four years. I have changed a lot, learned a lot and grown a lot during that time. But I have also become a shadow of the person I once was. Sometimes when you are in a situation it is hard to see things objectively. My life has been effected by one long series of choices that I have made of my own free will. There is no one to blame for it not being the life I wanted. It's up to me to create the life I desire. We all have our own path to follow and I have been wandering around lost in the woods for a number of years metaphorically speaking. So it is my intent to try to live every day as joyfully as possible.
Personal transformation never really stops. It may slow and mellow with time once you find the right path for you. Mine has begun anew, full of fire and determination. I have rekindled that zest for life that has been missing for a long long time. I am ready to return to the land of the living. I deserve to be there. I'm ready to enjoy life again.
