sabrinamariI'm home.
The last few years have been characterized by excitement and happiness on my return home, rather than the more usual post-festival blues. I think this is because I have had such a happy home to which I could return.
But this year I return with a deep sense of peace and a profound joy. My dearest wishes were granted this year, and what could have been a scary change was actually a very natural and peaceful shift.
The last two years have been about creating a joyful home and family life, and this festival was about expanding that definition of family.
I've always loved my Blue Star family; all along, they have been what is most delightful about my life. Without Blue Star, my life would have been very unsatisfying for at least a 10 year stint. These days, I have added a happy home life and an expanded definition of family to that source of joy as well.
Wow.
In other notes: I did no workshops. It was good. I loved relaxing and lounging about and at the end---the very last day--was able to start missing teaching workshops a little bit, rather than thinking of them with dread. This is a good sign.
I attended no workshops. Too much happened and had to be integrated: family changes, Craft changes, deep personal changes.
I did not get poison ivy.
I drew.
I loved having most of my family with me. I brought home peace.
Next year, Trent and Michael will come for the whole time. I love my life. Happy sigh.
