		<title>New Years Resolutions&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to think I wasn&#8217;t a resolutions kinda of gal. I scoffed at the idea that we&#8217;d all make some big life improvements tied to the changing of the calendar, it seems simple-minded and ridiculous. Well, things change. Actually, I&#8217;m still not really looking to make impossible lists to frame the start of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s family stuff or nothing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I stopped blogging a couple weeks ago &#8212; well at least 130 weeks ago, though probably longer. I kept thinking that if I didn&#8217;t have anything of interest to say, I&#8217;d just shut up. Well.. that got boring. But the only thing that happens consistently around here, and is the most probable source of content, [...]]]></description>

		<title>stillness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[a dear friend has pointed out how silent this site has been. It&#8217;s not for lack of desire to write, I often come up with something I&#8217;d love to share as I&#8217;m driving down the road or otherwise out and about and not near a computer. And I can&#8217;t say that it&#8217;s a lack of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love my digital camera&#8230; I&#8217;ve had it for 6 years or so and it&#8217;s a regular little workhorse. I&#8217;ve banged and slammed and knocked it about so many times but it keeps on clicking. I used to drag it with me everywhere I went, constantly looking for any and every shot I could get.

		<title>yet another creative passion&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[p.s. (yes, I&#8217;m putting the post-script first.): I still don&#8217;t have time to breathe, 3 months since my last exhalation seems about right. 
Several years ago, about six I&#8217;d guess,  I started talking dance with a dancer friend of mine &#8212; we wanted to take some classes in tribal style bellydancing. In fact, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>is breathing allowed?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[wow, sometimes there is just so much on my plate, that I think I can&#8217;t fit in the simple things like breathing. I kinda feel like I&#8217;m being slammed around like a racquetball this week - it&#8217;s good in the &#8220;ohmyfreakinggodi&#8217;mgoingsofastandsohard&#8221; and bad in the &#8220;ouch! that wall hurts!&#8221; kind of way.

		<title>making sauce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alex has been wanting to do more cooking and decided that she wanted to make spaghetti sauce. Since our tomatoes seem to mysteriously vanish off the vine daily (mmm, I suspect two-legged tomato-predator), we had to get tomatoes from somewhere else. Luckily, it was time for our weekly trading group meeting yesterday and one of [...]]]></description>
