Where In The World Is Prairie Girl?

Well…technically I’m still in Oklahoma… But I’ve spent the past few months in a kind of “immersion training”… You know like when you take a class on how to speak a foreign language and then get dropped in the country where it’s spoken, and you don’t eat if you can’t ask for it in their native tongue… Like that…

I wrote part one of what I THOUGHT I had been learning, but it turns out it was only the class description… The advertisement if you will.. Seems that the Universe thought I should take the whole class before I wrote anymore about it like I KNEW anything…
 

It’s been an eventful summer in an uneventful way.. Nothing Earth shattering, but for educational purposes it was good… even when it felt bad..


The Spirit Guides went to spend the summer in Colorado, and my wishing for “adult conversation” turned into wishing for ANY conversation…






I REFUSED to carry on conversations with the dog…. Then the dog died… true story…


So I sat here alone…..


I had quilt work…

I had play,

I’d go to cousin Julie’s pool several times a week.. It was too hot to be outside unless you were in the water… Over 30 days in a row of over 100 degree heat and no rain..

But I was alone 99% of the time.


I had a few dates..

 

I had cyberspace cowboys calling and writing..... I learned a lot…. Some of it the hard way….sort of like how using a slightly wrong inflection when speaking another language can get you a completely different dinner order….

I have learned so much and come so far from this time last year… I now expect peace every day instead of hoping for it… Happy is what I aim for now… I’ve learned the importance of happy…

I promise to finish writing what I started last spring… It sometimes feels overwhelming. Like there is so much to say I don’t even know where to begin…

I’ve got some quilt work that has a deadline but I’ll try not to be gone so long…

Angels on your bodies.


Prairie Girl..
