I never though much about that time in the woods until three days ago when my fever took two days to break. My thoughts kept going back to that magical moment with my family and each time I thought about that moment I kept feeling stronger and stronger. I guess it was a sweat lodge moment amongst the haze of my fever but it just goes to prove that sometimes the best medicine in life is that special moment you share with the ones you love.
Ah...the flu! Yes, I was one of the unlucky victims of this record breaking flu season. But, it's funny how something as simple as a good memory can be so healing. Thinking back at one simple moment with my husband and son has helped me through this horrible ordeal. It's the simple things in life that sometimes matter the most........ A few weeks ago I had my little explorer at my side helping mommy with a photography project and my husband the fronteirsman, was guiding us deep into the woods in search for pristine crystal clear streams that I needed for my project. In 20 degree weather and my ankles deep in mud and ice cold water I did not feel the cold on my feet or my hands for some strange reason. The adrenaline of capturing that one great shot was rushing through my body and then it was that moment of bliss when I realized that it was just my husband, my son and myself alone, submerged in the beauty of the forest and freshly fallen snow. The sound of the running water, the crashing of the snow falling through the trees, animals scurrying about and the echoing laughter of my son and husband pretending to be Hobbits using tree branches for swords was like being in another world where only good things happen. Such an odd feeling for this city girl who hates the outdoors. This odd feeling was very therapeutic and my wet feet were still toasty warm.

AuthorPlain and simple, I'm painfully the artsy type. I like to keep my mind occupied because it keeps me out of trouble. I love art, photography, music and the 1940's. Between art exhibits, photography projects, design work, developing and promoting my new upcoming line the "LuvSicks", dressing up in early 40's vintage clothing for WWII living history events and endlessly researching the 40's home front and women's fashion to help educate the audience, and dusting off my drum sticks once in a while, I am endlessly busy. In a nutshell I draw silly pictures, shoot pictures, and play dress-up. In a nutshell I guess I never grew up. In a nutshell I guess I'm just a nut! Archives
