Comes a time...

I used the wise words that one of my blog friends wrote to another. I wanted to whine and have a pity party, but now that I painted a spread in my journal I don't feel that bad any more. Art really is therapy! I need to force myself to use the time that I have and start painting every day again...

Looking for something...

Not everyone can wear a skirt...

Thankful

As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that
the highest appreciation
is not to utter words,
but to live by them.
~J. F. Kennedy

What a wonderful day! This year my birthday joined Thanksgiving in a perfect display of cooking, smiling, hugging, loving... I wouldn't mind spending each day like this.
Some of you may remember that my mom had surgery in September... For my birthday present, she made a couple of painful steps without a cane or walker... And I could see it (thanks to Skype - free video phone).
So, today (and every day) I'm thankful for so many things... high on the long list are my blogging friends, my network of support and inspiration. Hope you had a great day too!
P.S. I REALLY don't like one of the eyes on the above journal page... I noticed that it is wrong only when I scanned it. How could I miss it while I was painting?

Today

Today I watched Suziblu's videos and was inspired to play in my journal:

I baked an apple pie, made sauerkraut, walked on the beach, looked at the sky through the most beautiful leaves, enjoyed my family, listened to this song many times and bought a new shampoo...

How was your day?

My notebook once again

Thank you for all the lovely comments about my notebook... it really feels great to read them! I just finished the back side. It needed a little bird friend to help me when I get confused with all the new information I'm trying to store in my old brain... I think I'm happy with it now.
