Where did May go??!

Wow.
It has been a LONG time since I last posted, aye?
Believe me; the gap in posting was not intentional! This past month has been insanely busy with life going full speed ahead!
As much as I have thought about posting, I haven't really had a whole lot of time to do that!

One of the things that has been PLEASANTLY taking up some of my time is working with first-third graders, teaching them to write letters! I adored it, and I wish the project lasted longer! After three weeks--meeting three times--the kids wrote a total of 42+26+12 letters; EIGHTY LETTERS!
I even received a couple myself!

So here I am. I have a smidge more time under my belt, so I thought that I might do a little mail post. What do you think? Well overdue?!
I'll get right on that! :)

Cheers;

Stay A While?

As I get closer and closer towards the crazy deadlines for the crazily busy things going on in my life right now, I can't help but feel a little ache for every letter that gets delayed. I am so used to writing/replying straight away to letters that staring at my pile of "just-a-waiting-on-you" can get a little sad.

Unfortunately, I have to prioritise right now. And that means that letters--as much as I love them (which is A LOT)--and writing long, photography-inclined posts may not be the call of the day for the next month. And that's okay. I'm going to try my hand at being small, concise and quick--trying to provide little posts that will bring a smile and, hopefully, a laugh.

We've all got a lot going on. Letters are never second-best.
But time has to be used wisely.

So I'm going to do just that.

Stay a while? I promise I'll write you as soon as I can.

Cheers,

A New Year Is Ahead Of Us All

Happy 2013 to all my lovely readers out there in the big, wide world!
I am about to post a big ole write-up of The First Mail of 2013, but first--

Allow me to share with you some wisdom.
It seems that almost every year, my wonderful Grandma has given me a motivational calendar. The last two years, it has been a tear-away calendar that stores the quotes of "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People." The year before that it was a calendar that was full of "Mightily Inspirational Quotes."
This year, it is a newly motivational, inspirational, fantastical calendar that celebrates a wonderful quote each day! Thus far, none of the quotes from the calendar have ever graced my mind before. I love that.

Whenever I find a particularly lovely quote, I'll be sure to share it with you. Here is today's:

The wise man must remember that while he is a descendant of the past, he is a parent of the future.

~ HERBERT SPENCER 

 

Additionally, these next few months are going to be STELLAR busy. I am going to make a goal of writing two-three times per week. At this point, I can't guarantee any more than that. But I shall really try for twice a week, with three being a special treat!

With that said, onward and upward!

2013 is going to be incredible.
