Ahh... yes. Coffee. My one true friend. And this morning? My stout ass kicking friend!
No word from Gretchen yet, but it'll turn out ok for her no matter what happens. That lady can crank out art anywhere, on anything and it is always fun and fabulous! I think the heat is starting to back off here a bit. It will probably crank back up, but as I was walking back from the marina shower this morning I realized I moved onto this boat for the entire hideously hot part of the summer.
Doh!
Of course I did! If it had been any other way, it wouldn't have fueled such emotional blog posts! And while that really may or may not be true, I really did choose the worst time to go live on a boat (or stay in this part of the country for that matter)
The Lowcountry Summer Experience (sounds like a ride at Universal Studios!) has me looking forward to the dry heat. And it's not been a total loss here other than "the boating accident" because I finally got some balance back and stepped way back from my situations and had a chance to move through it.
Not gracefully as hoped, but I am on the other side of it thanks to Cathryn and her support.
That support included some stern words of concern for my mental state at one point and that is one of the things that led me to get some therapy back in my world. I did seek outside help. And it made a huge difference! I feel like maybe for the first time I am taking less selfish action in really taking care of myself. I have had a good look at my ego... and it's staggering how twisted it is!
Blogging...
Ego driven?
Journal?
Cathartic?
When I get back I may stop daily blogging... I'm tedious and dull most days without some good thing fueling me. Then again, maybe I will create some good thing to fuel me?

Wendy, I've been following the blog for a couple years now, and you always have good things to fuel you and your posts....be it music, friends, where you're at or food. And you always make it enjoyable for us to follow along.
But in the end, it's weather you want/need to continue blogging. I enjoy reading, but you have to want to continue sharing.
Anyway, back to your Lowcountry Experience...at least you're not on the boat in the snow from last winter!!
Dave... I miss seeing your face, man! Thanks for stickin' with me!
