Little Orange Dahlia Days

I’m sure, right now, many of you relate to this title. It has been a turbulent few years.

Whether you welcome the change that’s happened really depends… Were you happy, sad, somewhere in between before? Was it for the worse, better, or something in between? Are you someone who hides from change and unwillingly contends with it or do you throw your arms wide open and say “thank goodness “?

Change comes whether you want it to or not, of course. I’ve lived in about 26 places in my 52 years. I’ve been married and divorced, later in life and sooner than anticipated respectively. I’ve had three different careers already; didn’t see that coming. Especially after finally graduating from college at 36 and grad school at 39 (two were before that). I recently moved from Southern California to Vermont; I’m about to find out what extended winter is all about. From Los Angeles, CA to a town of a few thousand. And I’m learning how to get around with a walker in a rural, car dependent area largely lacking sidewalks.

I miss cooking and eating what speaks to me seasonally and will probably post recipes and menus for meals that I would have made. I’m sure I’ll also just comment on what’s happening in my life, in my head and heart and, fair warning, what’s happening in the world. Although mine has diminished in size for the moment, I intend to keep watching. 😉
