a day in the studio and maybe a little art

Fifteen minutes of ART at a time might be all I get these days, but at least it is something. I look forward to that time and I look forward to being in the studio. Sometimes just being on that stool is all it takes to make a less than perfect day better.

To be honest, some days I get on that stool and nothing happens. I sit, I look around, I rearrange some things. I rearrange some more. Every day isn't always the most inspiring. This is real life people and it just has this way of butting to the front of the line.

Other days you get a break. You grab a brush and the ideas flow out of you. You create five journal pages before you realize you ever sat down. You end the day with muddy water and painted hands. These days make the days we sit on our stool and wonder what the hek we are doing in the first place worth it...so enjoy the good days and the bad days will just have to take a back seat.

just this: I am thankful

I am thankful for so many things - more than I could list. I am thankful for my family, with all of it's imperfections. I am thankful for my faith, for without I would not be here. I am thankful for my home and the sunshine that lights it. I am thankful for my friends and all the laughter they bring to me. I am thankful for second chances and time outs. And I am thankful for you. I am just thankful. For all of it. For all of you.
