Where Have You Been?

Posted by Diane Debevec on Friday, May 27, 2011
This month has slipped by, and it seems as though we only recently returned from Sicily while my calendar indicates 29 days have lapsed.  I don't have much to show for it, other than some classes taken(6) and classes taught (8), several books read, pool opened, a one year wedding anniversary thoroughly celebrated, and the mystery of the cat-pee-smell resolved.  I have made a few paintings and several drawings.

The blues that accompanied our return home have left (hurray!) but my inner critic is working overtime.  Man, she can be harsh.  "Too slow, not enough, too much, ugly, stupid, fat..."  on and on she goes about this and that.  Give it a rest and let the good angel have a turn, please?

I found this cool website today about a young couple choosing the small & simple solutions:
http://tinyrevolution.us/about/.   This kind of story inspires, intrigues, appeals, draws me in. I'm not sure what that would look like for us...Artful Habitats is a way of life of its own.  A. H. is not luxurious by any means (except maybe having a pool), but it does create complexity and a layer of responsibility.  I continue to believe in the concept though:  it is paying for itself and putting a roof over our heads. The debt doesn't hurt so much this way: we don't  have to keep our jobs to keep our house.

At least in theory.
