I am determined

Please notice that I didn't write "she is" like I usually do. It's because it's about me. I want to succeed.

For most of my life I thought that I am the only person on this planet that cannot run... even when I was younger/thinner/fitter my lungs felt like they will explode after 30 seconds. A full minute was my max! I know that my lungs are fine and healthy, so my guess is that it has to be in my head.

Lately, I've started to whisper to myself that I know I can do it if I play it smart and really, really try...

I found an 8-week long program online called "From couch to 5k" and decided to become friends with my treadmill. I'm on week 3 and so far so good... I'm actually enjoying it. I wear my funny Vibram shoes and I believe that they help.

Do you think I do it? Can I train myself to run (ok - to jog, move a bit faster than walking)? Three miles...
Exactly how long the path close to my home is.

If you know any mind tricks I can play to make this work, please share.
I'm putting it out there in the open, stating my intention...
I am determined to succeed.

Class assignment

Here is another finished class assignment from "Faces in Technicolor" class. Most of the time I like cropped parts of my paintings more than the whole painting... Are you like that too? Don't you think that the square pieces of my painting look better than the original, full face one? I think the last one is my favorite.

I am

I am:

Watching videos from this class and am about to splash some color over this sketch.

Enjoying my garden (this is parsley, planted from seed November last year).

Loving these two and the way they interact and sail through her teenage years (you can't see in the photo,
but the sandwich is super special with extra amazing ingredients made with love by Hana for her Dad).
