It feels like Friday today!

Gosh I'm not really sure where my day has gone today, it happened so fast. I really enjoyed weeding in the rain tonight before heading off to do another painting for me, oh the self indulgence. You might not understand what I have painted, all you need to know is there is lots of happiness and joy in there for me and yes everything is the way I intended (my husband was horrified).....

My inbox was pretty hammered today! Here are a few web links you might find interesting?

My card for the day is Endings and Beginnings

it said...I sing praises to those whose hearts accept the universal order, which only appears to be chaotic and ever-changing. In actuality, everything is designed down to the smallest detail, to be perfect operation. The dance of the universe is a happy one, with energy swirling and twirling in a never ending celebration of life itself. Join this dance, dear one, and enjoy the remarkable journey of the weavings of the story of your life. Do not fear appears to be change or a loss. It is only a transitioning orbit of energy interplaying with you and your loved ones. Embrace it as evidence that your alive! Embrace your deepest emotions as a signal of your true human essence.

Right I had better go to bed now before my eyes pop out x

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week.
