Resurrection

Of the blog.  The resurrection of the blog.  The cabin we resurrected, Phoenix-like, out of the ashes of the Hayman fire, three years ago.  There were a lot of hopes and dreams and fantasies associated with the build, and I documented many of them in this blog.  Well, we’re on summer number three, and things are starting to settle. As with anything you pour your future into, the reality of that future is always different from that envisioned.  Some things don’t materialize the way you expected; others are more magical than you dared imagine.  Intentions are based on many things, but outcomes are often determined by the behavior of others.  One thing I’ve learned this year -- everybody gets to make their own choices...including me.  This acknowledgement of only having control over yourself (best-case scenario), has been a little sad and a LOT freeing and joyous.  Positive change is good and I’m working on that (now and forever) in myself, and hoping others will do the same.  In the meanwhile, the Welcome sign still hangs outside our cabin door whenever we are in residence.
