I’ve kinda been putting off doing this post, I think, because it brings home the realization that we are no longer at the oceanside. This makes me incredibly sad. I am grateful to have been able to go, for sure. But every time I am able to be near the water, it reinforces the idea that I really need to be closer to a large body of water. I feel better physically, and certainly, emotionally.

We got home last Monday evening. Since then…. I’ve been slowly getting myself sort of back into a routine here. But the past couple of days I have found myself increasingly stressed and angry… not sleeping, easily irritated. Not sure why…. but friends have pointed out astrological reasons (the lunar eclipse, mercury in retrograde, etc.)…. and it does make more than a little bit of sense. All that said… I’ve also been slowly editing some photos from our trip… and I hope to eek them out over the next several weeks or so, as I am able.

I still have a couple projects to finish for a couple friends…. but then I hope to get back in the swing of making some new jewelry pieces…. especially some pieces with summer in mind… lots of shells and sea glass, perhaps leather…. we’ll see.

In the meantime. …. here is a collage of some of our vacation photos…

and my photos for the month of May (my 365 photo project).
