Fascinating...

Yeah, and I'm Spock too... hardly.

What I find interesting is that it is almost exactly a year since I last felt the compulsion to post.  And in almost exactly the same circumstances. Oh my, does that make me predictable?  I think it speaks to how our lives can run in seasonal patterns.  We haven't come that far since our medieval peasant ancestors...

One year later,  and the morning after another midwinter choral concert.  It was a great time, and I'm feeling the predictable letdown.  I was in a sextet created just for the evening and I miss it so already.  The studio after having a great fall, and so much progress in the last 2 years is feeling bleah again.  Winter blues.  I think I need to get out of town for a couple of days.  I'm considering going to TO to visit my gallery representative.

YES!!! I have a gallery rep! I'm working in the studio five days a week.  I was a featured artist on a national show in the fall, and I've got a gallery show in Toronto in the spring.  Life is still a fucking bitch sometimes but at least I have a life now, so much more than I had years ago when I started this project.  I was considering deleting this blog, but really, when I look back at how much my life has changed, I don't think I will. Even if nobody reads it, it reminds me of how much my life has changed since I joined Overeaters Anonymous almost 10 years ago (March 2002).  And yes, I am still a healthy weight.

I have to run, ironically to get groceries,  before the university students come to on the morning after and flood the market, but I will return soon, because I'm feeling the need to write.  Cheers!
