For the last month I have been up and out of the house by 6:45 and I just couldn’t get to sit long enough for an episode for MM or Slices on Tuesday.  I didn’t even have time for my Word Count journal and something was missing.  Sure, during our writing project, I was able to write with out SI community of great teachers, many reconnecting with their writing lives for the first time in a long time.  As they connected, I wrote too, but my eyes were on the clock as I led most Writing Into the Day prompts and I loved the position, don’t get me wrong, you just can’t have it all.

And now I am back home, for a Monday morning able to write and it feels So good, delicious. The weather is working with me, a delicious August morning of cool breezes and I have a birthday arriving this week to celebrate on August 7, quietly.  Next year it’s a big one: 60 (OMG).  I wonder how I will usher in that one?  For now the celebration plans are on the back burner.

At this moment of calm, I have an hour or two to enjoy the morning and then we are off to Maine for the first time.  The first time.  Different from our trips to Israel.  That’s a known spot, but Maine, my camera is itching for new locations.

I don’t want to forget the SI we just ended.  I am hoping that our community stays connected and of course, we have blogs, a new one on ning.  Deb and Kevin joined.  Anyone else interested? http://writeon08.ning.com/

I don’t know if this writing counts as a memoir, but it is fun to write and get ready to post to the group that I’ve missed.  Thanks for your feedback on my SI pieces.  Working on them felt great.

Have a good one.  Tomorrow I will be in Rockland, Maine.
