Poor Rabbits!

Well, I have good news!  It seems the rabbits around me will be lonelier this year, as their usual trails are growing less and less visible.  

I'm grateful.

(Definition:  rabbit trail, noun,  1) a path dug into the ground by little steps over and over again as the wild one flees the enemy, reality, or self.  2) a fast paced waste of time.  3) repetitious mistakes unknown and unseen by the rabbit.  Example sentence:  Lord, help the rabbit!

And, in the place of all that chasing dreams that didn't work out (some did) and trusting those who it turned out didn't care or didn't deserve it....I've hit upon a 'happy place' in my life.  It's about time again!

Only one thing was placed in my bucket of dreams for 'when I have time' and that was becoming a Docent in a major museum...preferably an art museum.  This dream is coming true!  My first tour will be in one week and I'm very excited about the planning and doing of it!

And not only that!  But I've become a bit of an artist myself.  I paint for a few clients who offer small commissions for specific compositions - usually rare birds or well known points of interest (landscapes basically).  I really love this so much...it gets me up each morning and no matter how busy I am all day long...there will always be time to sit in my studio and lose myself with a pan of water, some paint, paper, and a brush in my hand!  At which point I completely lose all consciousness of place and time.

Not at all like stumbling down a rabbit trail!  Happy trails to you, little rabbits....
