And it’s been a minute. But I’m back. Sort of.

I’m still battling some fatigue, so I’m not quite back to normal. But I am drastically reducing my volunteer workload when my current committee terms expire at the end of this month, so, with the recognition that life happens and plans go awry, I do expect to be much more devoted to my writing projects (including this blog), and a few other things that I need get done beginning May 1. Between now and then, well, I expect that my positing will probably remain a bit uneven – at least there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sticking with me this far.

In light of all that, and my renewed effort at regaining focus, I leave you with this thought:

“To take what there is, and use it, without waiting forever in vain for the preconceived — to dig deep into the actual and get something out of that — this doubtless is the right way to live.” – Henry James, 1889

…and with the rather interesting photo of a shadow taken during the tail end of our limited share of the eclipse last week – the shadow effects during eclipses are awesome, anyway, but this one particularly struck me because it almost looked as if the branches themselves were on the ground.
