For Today: October 18, 2009

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

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

I am thankful for... quiet nights, a hot shower after refreshing exercise, and fun, 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 except in this chair until bedtime.

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 laptop.

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, and to be instead of always doing.
