This Blog's Focus, or lack there of

Edith Wharton said "There are two ways of spreading light ...To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it." That's what this blog is about, how the light of other people and the world around me have reflected off and in me. . .or other things when I need to write about other things, like walking, lizards, or fruit. There will be pictures of plants. All pictures are taken by me, unless noted.

I say what's on my mind, when it's there, and try to only upload posts that won't hurt or offend readers. However, readers may feel hurt or offended despite my good intentions. Blog-reading is a matter of free choice, that's what I have come to love about it, so if you are not pleased, surf on and/or leave a comment. I welcome any and all kind-hearted commentary.

It's 2012 and my current obsessions are writing and walking, sometimes at the same time. And books. I'm increasingly fascinated by how ebooks are transforming the physical book, forcing it to do more than provide printed words on a page.

Wintering

It's sock weather and time to spend as much time in bed as possible. I try to accomplish one thing each day so I have something to talk about when the family comes home from being productive citizens.

"I cleaned the cat box," I announce by way of hello.

"I pulled a child from a car, birthed a baby, and then figure out how to save the university $100,000," my husband responds.

I don't bother mentioning how the laundry room now smells of vanilla and citrus.
