Where I am Right Now

1.  Feeling creative and again realizing how important creativity-time is for me to feel calm, happy and balanced.

2.  Finally beginning to see the possibility of balance between work, school, family and me-time.

3.  Just at the end of my fascination with the series True Blood.  Vampires have creeped me out and given me bad dreams my whole life, yet based on the high recommendation of Catherine, I thought I'd give it one more shot.  I enjoyed the drama, but one season was enough.

4.  I'm experimenting with acrylics again...at some point, some instruction would probably be valuable.  I really love the texture and richness.  Next I hope to try different brush sizes.

5.  Listening to the large machinery outside of our house.  They've been doing sewer upgrades and road repairs for so long that I can't remember when they started.

6.  Thinking that this is a great idea to do with my graduate work and also with my students.

7.  Kai is growing and changing in so many ways.  He always is, but right now seems pretty big.  He is only taking one nap a day.  He has almost mastered eating with a spoon.  He loves sitting himself in chairs.  He loves walking, "running", and climbing.  He wants hugs and cuddles often.  He's saying: hi, ball, car, mama and daddy often.  He's fake crying.  Such an adventure.

8.  Focusing on SIMPLICITY.

9.  Trying to organize and live by the idea: A place for everything and everything in its' place.

10.  Really, really enjoying alone, quiet time.
