Postpone No More

I know, I know ~ you thought I was never coming back!

But ~ But ~ But ~ I wanted to ~ I thought about it ~ I really did!

I have a list of excuses.... but who really wants to hear them?

Let's just get back on track and hug each other and say "welcome back dear friend".

I read this poem this morning on one of my favourite blogs ~ Shutter Sisters, and thought it was a good place to start again, especially the "postpone no more" line.


Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, 
Healthy, free, the world before me, 
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose. 

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune, 
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, 
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms, 
Strong and content I travel the open road.

Song of the Open Road, Walt Whitman
The view from our driveway
