Telephone Wire

Wire ~ Canon 30d
This image was shot while storm clouds rolled in during the retreat I was on in West Virginia in late June. Many pictures were shot and are sitting on my external drive, but they've not made it up here. I'm really taking it easy this summer. Work comes and goes, but I'm not too anxious about it these days. My mom was here for a week and a half and we had a wonderful time together. My energies are being focused on blossoming friendships and learning to be friendly with my circumstances, no matter what they might look like. So, I'm in the midst of a retreat from blogging, and it's just the way it is.
The image above echoes the last 24 hours ~ dark clouds looming over a technological wire. My main computer (desktop) has threatened to give up the ghost on me, and I've been diligently backing files up while trying to coax it back to life. As I write this, I'm reinstalling the system, which means the drudgery of reinstating multiple settings and serial numbers await me over the weekend. I'd rather run toward my life with open arms than disdain it's less than stellar moments. In spite of my frustration, I'm thinking this "disaster" is a way to improve my ability to allow and accept.
This too shall pass.

So glad you and your mom had some good time together. I find I am slowing down a good bit. I think I've decided August is my least favorite month. It's too hot and I am wanting to just veg. Best wishes on your 'puter resuscitation. We'll be here. Take all the time you need friend. :c)

August should be the slowest time of the year, a time meant for REST. Who can think or move when it is hot and humid outside. Besides, we've worked diligently for 11 months. Time to sit back, sip lemonade or iced tea, enjoy the flowers and recooperate.
So sorry about the computer gasping. Hope you coaxed some life back with some tlc.
