Day Before Thanksging Eve Notes and Musings

One more day at work ..... Then four days off. The light at the end of the tunnel that keeps you going in August when it feels like a day off  is a thing of the past. If it wasn't for wanting to make use of my camera and the ongoing search for the ultimate image, I might just catch up on sleep the entire time.

Six years ago, I was boarding a train for Idaho. A trip that I like to think, changed my life. The realization that after all the years, I have earned the right for something better in my life. The changes became action within a day (maybe an hour or two) after returning home. Certainly not my usual procrastination involving change. It must have been a powerful eye opener!! And I'm extremely thankful that I had the means available to make a change.

I was a traveling man back at the end of 2009. Idaho for Thanksgiving. Tennessee for Christmas. Old fears set aside. Bus stations and airports. Trains and planes. If I could only write music, there's a song in there somewhere.

It was shortly later that I became interested in the art world. Just walking by a painting that caught my eye was all it took. I sometimes wonder if I had I kept my head down and not glanced to the side that day ...... I had never been interested in art galleries and antiques before. But again, the Idaho influence. I was intrigued with what a friend had done with her home. And now, I love the search!! I love finding objects of interest.
