a little fragment of now . . . with more to come . . .

wishing to sit and write a long ole post to reflect on the year (I did December reflections last year) I think it´ll have to wait until the New Year now. I'm currently taking a well-earned break. A break from my MA, my life as I know it domestically. I´ve even come away without my computer and only books to read and two small notebooks to make notes in - a break from the computer and internet even, wow! Much of 2011 saw me down a virtual rabbit´s warren and at times it got too much. A break from working too hard and even thinking far too much. It feels quite strange but good to unwind although I realise wherever I go the worry doesn´t necessarily go!

I'm reflecting, appreciating, reading, planning and well, still thinking  . . . I can´t help it. I have ideas, goals and plans ready for the next year and intend to start the ball rolling. When I´m back home on my own computer I will update you. In the meantime I wish you all such a merry time on New Year´s eve and a fantastic 2012. Thank you ALL of you for taking the time to stop by, to say hi, to wish me well,  it means so much  :)

And hello to new people who have joined the Open Access experimental art e-course class and for those of you thinking of joining you can find out more and sign up here . . .

  1. Have a wonderful 2012. I think we all feel a little how you describe. I would love to spend far less time on the computer and more time creating ... but I'm quite sure how to do that ... one seems to go with the other. I am slowly learning to read a few pages a day, switch off at tea time and spend more time creatively and for myself. It's a fine balance indeed

    Thank you for your comments and friendship
    Best wishes, Carolyn x
