Pinapple Upside Down Cake & David Bowie

Happy New Year..I know I am a little late getting out the gate but the past few weeks have been an readjustment period of sorts. With that came a new home and all the plagues and pleasures that go along with it. I do enjoy however the space around me and the peace and quiet that was impossible to achieve in my retro townhouse. Classes have been reconfigured and I have been focusing my attention on making a home for us here in all its beauty, imperfections and solitude.My husband has been out of town and I am spending yet another night chickin out as I like to call it. Tonight it has involved baking a cake and listening to the Pandora which has been stuck on Art music circa 1980's for the better part of 4 days now, maybe more. During this move I got rid of a lot of stuff, a lot of baggage that I have been carrying around for years and I am in the process of removing more. It feels really good as hard as it was to get in that mode to well simplify. It has been a good few years since I have done this yet this is the first time I have been as proactive about it as I have been in the last few days. I have thought long and hard about the New Year ahead and have a somewhat relaxed approach to what it means, meaning these days I am not apt to find myself trying to figure everything out anymore I just go with the flow. Some days taking it just one day at a time. I have parted the seas and made more room in my life for the good friends I neglect all to often, my studies and spending time with my family and look forward to what I have yet to learn as 2012 gets underway and sharing my journey with you every step of the way....
