Scrabble Scrabbled Words

I miss blog writing. And you know, I think it's an important writing exercise--it keeps me honest, so to speak. Helps me remember how important it is to invest time in finding the truest words.

Sistern, if you're reading this, I want to let you know I haven't forgotten about you. I'll call you tomorrow. I think about you every day.

Lately Laura and I have been going to Good Brews (local coffee shop) on Friday nights to have tea and play scrabble. It's glorious. Tonight, Gabe, an amazing photographer and writer, joined us. We never got around to scrabble, but we had wonderful conversations and saw some of Gabe's amazing photos.

Those pictures inspire me to take more myself, especially now that I have an amazing camera (compliments of my dear brother Tom). I think photography and writing are very similar. And I've always felt that I lacked the skill and perspective to take good pictures... but I don't think that's true. And even if it is, I have plenty of capacity to learn.

I want to try to write blog posts once a week. We'll see.

For now, I hope you are well and are loving life as much as it loves you.
