Dabbling

 Spent a few hours every day this week cleaning and sorting out the spare room/shop. I've done this many times before, but it tends to become a catchall.  Usually I take everything out, clean, then get tired and throw everything back in. This time, I went bit by bit, with a lot of stuff going into the "yard sale this summer" area of the basement.  It's still not completed, but I have one more day.  



Not sure it will help with this lint trap of a room, but the entropy has been resisted for a while. Trying to rethink my habits, reframing my life. Starting my young-old age. Finding a persistent kindness, patience and gentleness, a lightness, that is new to me. 

We went to the Caroline Shaw concert at the local college, and it was amazing in a different way.  I've completely fallen in love with her music. In manus tuas gives me chills.


While it is true I have not been writing here, it's also true I have not been making photos either.  I think I was creeping into a mild state of depression. Avoiding going outside.  Work, home, bed.  Lots of projects I want to start, but not really launching into any of them. Dabbling, hunkering, idling. 

More understanding, with less need to explain. 

61, my prime number.

Listening to the music, thanks for sharing.
May the spring give you energy to explore. I can tell the increased light and temperature are helping my brain already.

That looks a good start...setting us a good example.
It is difficult to want to be bright breezy and out and about when the Weather is throwing itself at you...and it is dark

Nimble,
Hasn't hit with enough light and warmth yet, snow still on the ground here.

gz,
Absolutely. Another month here, looks like. So, getting some of the debris inside clear helps.
