"There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste

I haven't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way
I'm not afraid I'll face
But I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my own road
And I can make it alone
All work and no fighting
I'll find a place of my own "
-Madonna, from the song "Jump"

It's been a while since I've posted but not for lack of trying. I've had some technical difficulties with blogger.

Anyway, I'll give you the brief rundown on some of the latest.

-I'm on a two month leave of absence from work. I'm getting healthy and figuring out some things about my life. I just finished my first week of absence. It feels really good, though at times I feel rather untethered.
-I had my first art gallery exhibit last Saturday. I exhibited 10 paintings and it was absolutely wonderful. The show was very well attended and I felt like such a "real" artist.
-I'm going to Australia for 3 weeks in 2 weeks. I'm going with P. and his kids.
-I'm going to NYC next weekend for the forth and final Mama Gena weekend. P. is coming with me.
-I went to Universal Studios today with P., his kids, his brother-in-law, and his neice. P's work had a work event there. It was really fun, though my feet are KILLING me right now.

Life is good, though full of unexpected twists and turns right now. I almost feel like from day to day, I have no idea where I'm going to be and what I'm going to be doing. It feels wonderfully free and terribly scary at the same time.
