Life is a … pinball game?

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
—John Lennon
I’ve always loved this quote. It just seems so appropriate most of the time. We like to think of life as a journey, but for me it’s really more just a lot of lurching from one thing to another, dealing with whatever seems most pressing at the moment. I’m no different from an ant or a bumblebee.
I was going along great with my France postings and had my school assignments and most things in my life under control, when a sudden family emergency meant I had to take a trip down to Albuquerque to deal with some stuff. Things there remain unresolved, so I’m back home waiting to see what happens next.
Now that I’m back, I have a lot of things to catch up on and write about, but my France trip just doesn’t seem so timely any more. I’ll get back to posting some about what I’ve been up to lately, but I just wanted to take a brief moment and try to account for the break in continuity here.

It’s always good to return home. No matter the timeliness I look forward to more France posts as you get to them. I enjoyed the ‘lurching’ reference, so perfectly descriptive of how I have been feeling myself. thanx!

Welcome back Deirdre! I agree with Rose on looking forward to more France posts whenever the time is there. Beauty remains beauty, isn’t it, no matter at what time it can be seen.

Rose & Regina,
Thanks so much for your encouragement. Nice to know someone’s listening!

The person who designs a digital camera fused into the front windshield with a remote clicker on the steering wheel is going to make all artists extremely happy people!
Think of the lives that will be saved…
