For
today: 17th June 2010
Outside
my window... it’s bright & sunny but crisp and cool too. actually it is raining!! Grateful that Deb and the girls are coming over for a playdate... kids are feeling a bit wild!
I am
thinking... that I really need to tackle that huge pile of ironing today.
I am
thankful for... being able to hire a professional to put up a VERY heavy
antique mirror in our main bathroom.
From
the kitchen... have not even thought about that yet!
I
am wearing... A gorgeous Anthropologie dress and a simply stunning pair of heels. Oooooh tisk tisk, no I'm not *hahaha* In reality: black trackies, grey long sleeved top and my uggies (which I have
almost not taken off since I got them, and perhaps, if I could wear them to bed,
I would!).
I
am creating... lots of pages in my art journal and a new bright and clean bathroom!
I
am going... to be teaching my last Mixed Media class for this term tonight :( which makes me a bit sad.
I
am reading... A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller.
I
am hoping... to establish, create, maintain a wonderful creative community,
both online and by way of monthly artist groups.
I
am hearing... Clare Bowditch on my ipod.
Around
the house... Ben is sleeping. Josh is playing and watching telly.
One
of my favorite things... Joshua’s bed head in the middle of the day! Cute as.
A
few plans for the rest of the week... deep sigh, not much thankfully! Just the usual, swimming, basketball training, basketball game... spending time with my children. Creating lots of art and biz stuff.
A picture to share...
A sweet little daisy in our backyard, photo taken with my Canon 7D.
Paulo Coelho is my hero! This quote I have added to the photo above:
"You have to take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun--and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist--that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists--a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles." — Paulo Coelho (By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept)
