Turning the Corner

Walking on Frozen Lake Huron

In 2012, I was able to spend time at 3 great lakes in Michigan state park cabins. I don't even want to write about them because I want it to be my little secret. I realize the lack of electricity, no indoor plumbing, and wood fired stoves have kept it mostly that way. I was in a yurt in the Porkies along Lake Superior last May, a cabin on Lake Michigan in Leelanau State Park this past Thanksgiving, and one on Lake Huron in Cheboygan State Park over New Years with friends. It's been one of the more constant things in a year of a lot of shifting and changing: a new teaching job, a new apartment, and most recently a new studio space. I am ecstatic that the saws no longer live next to my couch. Over the holidays I became very sick and had to practice hibernating...even from this blog. It was long and hard but we've made it to 2013. I haven't been able to make sense of what 2012 was really about but I feel I've turned a corner. Cheers!
