LIFE

We never know where it will take us. How thankful I am that there are some things which I know will NEVER change, no matter what life brings my way.

I DIT IT!!!

I finally spent some time painting!!! I set aside a few hours in my schedule and planned to paint during that time, and I actually did it. It was great, too! Everything seemed to come back to me, all my teachers' voices popped back into my head and reminded me what to do. I guess it is sort of like riding a bike. Painting in oils again also made me remember why I like them so much better than acrylics. Oil paints go so much further than acrylics and they don't dry instantly like acrylics seem to. I used a lot less paint and covered a lot more canvas. And the paint I didn't use will still be useable next time. Brian and Maggie came downstairs with me and listened to music in the music room. It was fun, and I feel so much better!!! Here is a picture of what I got done in about 3 hours. It's on a 16x20" canvas that I had laying around.

Things that keep me awake

Well, I can't sleep tonight, for several reasons. I am too excited about Christmas and Maggie's first birthday coming up. I bought her gifts online tonight, and can't wait for them to get here. I am worrying about a lot of things. I feel like some big changes are about to happen and they could either be really good, or really bad. I had too much caffeine today. Mostly it's the things I'm worrying about, though. I shouldn't worry, I know. But I do anyway. I just can't seem to turn my brain off. Maybe it's more anticipation than worry. I'm anticipating a lot of things right now. Yes. That's it. Anticipation is making me wait. Isn't that part of a song? Well, I'm going to move on to something else to try to make myself tired.
