Untitled Post

pine sap beads
My husband and I have continued our Sunday hikes in the foothills. These long walks and foothill treks give my spirit time to withdraw, repair and gain energy and focus.

I had different words that came to mind as a title for this post: haze, dormant, molting, tea leaves, focus. All of them yet none of them seemed to fit.

Untitled seems to be where I am at the moment. I even have a file, titled "untitled plan," where I put ideas for plans in the future.

So I've started the year embracing this untitledness.

GORGEOUS images, Juana! And I like that... Untitled... Unplugged... great way to approach a new year--wide open. January is a strange little month in some ways. There is something about this time of year that really calls us to want to nest, cocoon, hibernate... not do a lot... LOL! I'm feeling a bit of that too at the moment, in spite of burning ideas, etc. ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
