And life doesn't change much right now:-)

       My work is getting busy, my writing class is stepping up the pace, and my brain is actually starting to be creative - all at the same time!:-)   And I am beginning to be aware of my hermit-likeness, tried to improve, and failed miserably right as I lost the time and energy to be hospitable.

      This past week has made me realize how planning oriented I really am.  When I set aside time out of my valued writing schedule to be with people and the plans fell out - I couldn't even use the time wisely and start writing again.  I tried - I really did! - but my brain shut down and refused to have anything to do with creativity unless it involved someone else's.  So my mom and I spent some time together in front of a screen and then I read for a bit. 

      Mothers are wonderful things.:-)    I love living close to mine for many different reasons, but situations like those make me realize how wonderful they are.  Home cooking, listening ears, and pointed conversations can barely skim the blessings of a good mother.  She deals with my independance, tries to let me go, and still opens her arms to help when I need her. 

     Well, good night all - I think I should go and say thank you to my mother.:-)  ttyl!
