Sometimes I feel like I’ve been so obsessed over politics the last few years that I’ve overlooked so much of my friends, family, art activities (just pulled my art bag back out from the bedroom to my kitchen table art area), housecleaning and organizing, self-care, garden maintenance, and on and on.
Classic example – here’s an old friend of 25 years or so acquaintance who I haven’t heard from in about 18 months, who today sends me an email announcement and photo of his new baby!
I’m thrilled he’s a dad finally, in his forties, but – I haven’t heard from them in ages! What else has happened lately that I’m unaware of? It feels like there’s just so much in life to catch up on again….

It happened to me too… getting obsessed with how badly the world was going and forgetting to smell the roses. Unfortunately, now it is winter.
Oh, the roses always get smelled. My garden is my sanity retreat!
It’s just friends I lose touch with….
