The Magic, Miracles and Joy of an Artist: Space

Space

Hello Friends.

I started this Blog in December of 2008 and I've enjoyed it immensely. The biggest joy it has brought me is friendship. I have met some wonderful people because of blogging ~ a few who have become good friends. I am so thankful for that.

It seems after 1045 posts, I have run out of my free storage space for photographs. This should be no surprise to me because I love photography and I love sharing my photos with you on this Blog. I had no idea that I would need to purchase space on a monthly basis, but now I know. I have read the necessary information and I just purchased more space from Google. This Blog means enough to me to spend the money it will cost each month.

I have read that posts without a photo are rarely read. Apparently, the photo is what draws a person into a Blog. So, I guess no one is going to read this. LOL Actually, I feel pretty sure my pals will read it and understand why there is no photo. (24 hours before I can use my new purchased space)

Having reached 1000 posts a while back, I had planned to have a Giveaway at that time. Life got in the way and I've had little time to plan one. I hope to have that Giveaway real soon. In my mind, 1000 posts is a milestone for someone who wasn't sure what she was doing when she started this journey. I still don't know what I'm doing ~ my posts are a mishmash of this and that. Perhaps, one day I will have a central theme for this Blog. Until then, I will continue to post as I do and hope that I touch you in some way with beauty, humor, or interest.

Seeing the news and realizing the horror that Hurricane Sandy has brought to so many, makes me pause and be thankful for the little damage she brought to our area. I will keep those people in my thoughts and prayers and hope that with the help of others they can get their lives back on track soon.

Thank you for reading this and I will be back, with photos, as soon as Google gives me space!!!

Never knew about this lack of space for photographs. I wonder when I will get the red flag :-); November 9, 2012 at 4:57 AM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
