Where I should Be...

On this Halloween day, 2011...

I feel happy and excited about this new life, this new journey!

I find myself baking and cooking again, seeking out new recipes. I'm also working with children again, as a substitute. Hopefully, it will lead into full time employment.

Although I was not looking...

love also found me, so naturally, this makes everything better, especially the holidays!

In all honesty, after my painful divorce, I had no interest in sharing my life with someone again. At my age, I am truly okay with finishing out the last life chapters, solo. That was my plan.

I guess it's true-

when we are not looking for something, it finds us.

My creativity is also returning back to me. A big cause for celebration, since creativity is a huge part of who I am.

Today I am inspired by not only the warm feelings, but by the beautiful, earthy colors of Fall.

He and I picked out some pumpkins for the home! Today I studied them. The texture, the shape. They are perfect pumpkins indeed! After the observation and some quick photos...

I was painting.

For now, I do believe that I am where I should be!

Happy Halloween to all!
