Just read Andrea's blog about her gremlins and creeping doubt. i can relate. i spend a lot of time procrastinating on my dream list because i'm afraid of starting something i can't finish or succeed at. these feelings of paralyzation are slowly decreasing but they still keep me down (as in a lump on the couch or surfing the web). this week i created the first two pages in my visual journal and i committed to better eating. that was pretty much all i could manage on top of work. i dream about the day that i can do everything each day - a bit of eating well, exercising, artwork, work work, reading, corresponding, cooking, loving. i just adore the idea of each day in balance and sometimes i don't understand why it doesn't happen more often? mindfulness is my word for year 2009. maybe that is why each day isn't fully balanced - because i just expect it to happen instead of planning for it to happen - bingo! i'm going to add some affirmations to my journal pages - i think a little positivity will go a long way this coming week.

Thinking about things
Had a good chat with my friend K and it got me thinking tonight about how different we all approach things in our life and our life "happenings". Life is hard and i realize now how important it is to really see and love the small things - the small moments we share, a loving caress, the checkin' in phone call, the sharing of a photo. These are what make life sweet. I'm learning to embrace the bad with the good and the worry with the joy and the stop and the start. Taking a look at my own qualities and i'm willing to work on embracing the work in progress.

Love Friday
Feeling a bit achy today so my love gave me lots of rubs and a really great deep massage. i'm not sure what is going on with my shoulder/upper back but my arm is nervy and numb. can you tell by this picture that we are lovebirds? i'm so very grateful to have this wonderful man share my life - how did i get so lucky?
looking forward to having some more art time this weekend and also planning our upcoming road trip. need to figure out my trades and or charms for artfest. what would you do if you could not fail? that was a prompt for Em's 52Q challenge. it does make one think....???

Beautiful Day
I loved loved loved the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena - my honey took me there for Valentine's Day and it was magnifique! The weather was cool and sunny and the plants were just stunning. I really enjoyed the japanese garden and seeing all of the gorgeous succulents and trees - I just can't rave enough about the beauty of this place:
isn't this a magical wall?
