I’ve been busy working on reorganizing my website. After working on Stacey’s last week, adding oodles of photographs to the photo gallery, now I am working on updating my own. Her website was a lot more fun because you could see the results. The organizing on mine you’ll never see but it makes it much more streamlined for me and easier to find things. I already did a lot of that with Stacey’s a while back, now it’s my turn. A warning though, you might find some errors or broken links while I work on moving things around. It feels a lot like the book “The Bearnstein Bears and the Messy Room”. I have to create places to put things, throw things out, and reconnect all the links. When I’m all finished, I think I’ll erase everything from the server and upload it cleanly from my computer. Though it’s a bear to do, it will be better in the end. And it is nice to have the time to do all these things that have been clamoring to get done but that just got thrown off the side of my to-do pile. It has all certainly been keeping me busy. Even though I’m without a full time job, I feel like I have a job just the same.
I’m reading a book right now called “Handbook of the Soul”. It’s one of the books I found at that awesome bookshop in Milwaukee. I am really enjoying it and just like God has a habit of doing, it is exactly what I needed right now. I tend to do so much, I neglect the time I need for my soul, mainly the time to write. It seems nearly every author in this book, a collection of essays, mentions writing poetry as a way to care for the soul. I’ve started playing around, but lets admit it, warm-ups often suck and certainly, that is the case here. Still, I feel that if you open the doors up wide, good things will come. I’m counting on it.
