like fireflies at dusk...

my thoughts shoot about as I go through busy day after busy day. Daily reflections, observations...they happen and I hardly have time to notice. 

I just want to catch them in a jar; savor them.

In the past few days I have been thinking a lot about how I am someone who needs a quiet time each day to contemplate. I can't promise to contemplate anything of importance. Not every time. I just so much enjoy a half an hour to turn inward, float away, and return from my daydream with a better understanding of a topic of my choice. 

Initially I started writing in a public way (I dare not call it a blog - I don't see what I like as "bloggy", do you?) in order to organize my thoughts. If I want someone else to understand what I mean then I must be clear myself. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Life here is beautiful, and I am deliriously in love with my little clan. Yet sensitive, contemplative me has found herself as the matriarch of a little family of intense, bright, exciting and demanding males! And as day turns to night I have rarely had a moment to b-r-e-a-t-h! I end up staying up waaayyy past my bedtime so that I may indulge in Joan Blondina like things, such as knitting, drinking hot earl grey and google-ing hair tutorials (as an example :) ).

Now I am in now way, shape, or form making a resolution - that would be silly. I am, however, asking myself to please try to make time to write. It makes me so happy. I can only do the best I can do, and anything is good. I will even let myself off the hook from including photos in my posts - too much work!  Keep it simple.

Wish me luck!

Love Always,
Joan Blondina

Such an important moment to find, that moment of quiet and inner listening, or dialogue ... Good luck with your many moments Joan Blondina, I always look forward to your creations!
