For Today: October 18, 2009

Outside my window...darkness, except for the street light.  Lots of roadwork.

I am thinking...I'm going to take the morning off for myself, to enrich my creative spirit.  Will I be able to do that if we have another child?

I am thankful for...quiet nights, a hot shower after refreshing exercise, fun and restful weekends with Kai and Marc.

From the kitchen...warm soup and raisin bran muffins.

I am wearing...my pink plaid flannel pyjama pants, cozy slippers and a hoodie.

I am creating...an acrylic wall painting for Derran, as my siblings and I (and our spouses) decided to make Christmas gifts this year.

I am going...nowhere until bedtime except in this chair.

I am reading...graduate studies articles and looking for a new great book.

I am hoping...I can stay awake long enough to decide on a creative project for tomorrow.

I am hearing...silence except for the quiet hum of my computer.

Around the house...Marc is watching a movie, Kai is sleeping, and toys are everywhere.

One of my favourite things...my own space in which to create.

A few plans for the rest of the week...to stop planning so much, to be instead of always doing.
