i just got home from fraternizing with an online media mogul...

 Maybe you saw the clip and maybe you didn't....the holidays are a busy time.... understandable.   But he got a bit famous and i got to hobnob for a couple days....

but the response was amazing (http://www.respect-a-bull.com/)....the public's at large, and Stanley's.  But...the holidays are over and as we get back to our daily lives, let's remember that place in our hearts that wants to make all the difference to somebody, something, in some way....doesn't have to be dogs.  Although they are fuzzy and warm.  And many still linger in shelters, just like Stanley.

You all know what makes your own heart beat fierce.....and maybe if we all do just one thing that embraces that thing....we'd all be living in a better place.

love,

in whatever capacity,  will be what saves us all.

 

bridging the gap

so to speak....

i can't even remember where i found this moment...on a dogwalk, for sure...maybe along a trail i trail i don't normally follow.  the thing is...there are so many of these moments left on the camera's memory...i take the photos but do nothing with them. i notice the moments but can't be bothered to share...

so 

my head isn't working right...nothing new.

meds aren't working right...

but??? the moments are still there and i recognize them. i still love them. but just can't share them. 

i don't know how to explain that to the folks who worry for me...but seriously? just because i don't have words? that means nothing....

i never had have words....didn't you ever notice?

does the fact that know and understand THIS mean that i am truly Canandian?

I hope so...cuzi don't know many Americans who know who either of these Canadian icons are...their loss, for sure.

hey, now....it's a new year....

and though i don't know what that is supposed to mean, i am more than willing to let go of 2009. it's had it's highlights...saw two living legends and lyrical heroes of mine in one year, John Prine and Leonard Cohen.  triumphant happening among friends, children welcomed, homes bought, lessons learned, lives lived and loved.... visits, the junos, a mexican vacation, a whirlwind of selling and buying homes....

i haven't been around though, and now it seems Blogger is offended as i cannot move my text in between each photo!

  well...not without much trial and error...but maybe it's the computer(a mac) or maybe it's just my own rustiness....

speaking of rustiness...how do you like those photos?  first i have taken(more or less) in a good long while... the meds worked a while, then didn't work in a big bad way...more on that later... now i am on minimal dose, waiting to see a head doctor....who will probably, for all intents and purposes declare me "clinically depressed(which honestly won't shock me)" and try prescribing other things...but, here i am, clinical and all, taking some photos again.

and it's not like i think where i am is good but it's more like me....maybe not the depression part, but the looking for little things part.  i don't know if it's because it is a new year and 2009 was not brilliant for me....i don't know if it's that december has always had it's issues, now more than ever...i don't know if today was just a really good day for me....

but i went on this walk today and suddenly i found that i wanted to share it all with you again.

So, goodbye to 2009.  although you gave me some good gifts that i will love and appreciate always , all in all, you kinda hurt. and i'm glad we're done. bu-bye!
