A sweet sojourn from the busyness of life.

This blog is a journal of forays into my loves of creative writing,
humor, and photography. It is a departure from daily stresses.
Some of life's greatest journeys are detours.

The real act of discovery is not in travelling to distant lands
but rather in seeing with new eyes. - Marcel Proust

A Sweet Sojourn

An introduction to "A Sweet Sojourn"

One of the very positive things that I have experienced since I have returned to Michigan from Seoul, South Korea is my reconnection to a lot of my "loves". It has been wonderful
to connect with friends, family and familiar traditions. And especially nice has been the opportunity to reconnect with one of my true loves, writing. In this blog I am sharing some of those creative renderings. In this time of world turmoil and uncertainty, I find that taking a time apart from all the busyness makes my corner of the world a brighter place. One of my favorite quotes is from Marcel Proust; "The real act of discovery is not in traveling to distant lands but in seeing the world with new eyes". This is an oft repeated quote and a great reminder to appreciate where we are. To see our world with "new eyes"and appreciate what we have.
Hmm On a side note I should add that I would very grateful just to see with my "old eyes"
but that is another topic!
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Coming up...The Ballad of the Travelvestite. A modern tale of woe!
