The world lays in wait. Your
Best days remain ahead. Find your
Way, my son, for it is up
To you to plot a course. Set goals,
Predict your own successes.
Your life is in your hands. The
Future bears no boundaries. It
Is waiting for you
To shape it.
Create your utopia, child.
It is all within your reach.
She found her peace here
Before darkness claimed the light,
And the illness took her soul.
The trees remember,
For each sunset bears still the
Reflection of her shadow.
Up until this morning, my blog had gone 7 days without an update. That is by far the longest break I have taken since I launched Carrie Mayhem. I actually intended to post while on vacation. However, the first leg of the trip was much too busy and the second leg was at the cottage, where one is more connected to the wildlife than the internet. Anyway, I’M BACK!
Here are a handful of photos from our family holiday. They’re good pics but not the best pics. The best of the best will show up in future posts…
My favorite beach
The lighthouse (http://fav.me/d7r32w9)
A Ludington sunset (http://fav.me/d7q7pt2)
Fireworks!
Our entry Mater (from the movie Cars) won 2nd place in a “Pimp your ATV” contest!
I want to halt time
Remain your best friend always
Freeze your innocence
But even as you grow up
I’ll ever be your Mommy
Chasing a sunset
Along a glowing pathway,
Serenity sought
Where the earth touches the sky
And fire dances on water.

We embark on a family vacation tomorrow! Even the adult kids get to join us this time. Where we’re headed, writing is easy. The words just flow. I will put some work in on the book. I may even still blog. I’ll just be doing it from the beach instead of a leather recliner. It’s not work if you love what you do. If I don’t check in before Friday, Happy 4th of July!
