"oh to be a pup, again"

as is the above picture I too am dazed and coming to you from north carolina where I am attending this.

I have mixed feelings about my time here.  last year I was SO excited to meet new people and be inspired by all their different talents.  this year in light of all that has happened I have given myself permission to move at my own speed.  whatever that may be.  yesterday had its highs and lows and I was sure that someone had put another needle in my voodoo doll with all the strikes I had against me, but today?

today will be a good day!
