Thankful Today – August 14, 2008

1. Feeling rested. I’ve been getting a lot of sleep and it’s been
well-needed.
2. Day two.
3. Starting a new painting.
4. Finishing one more deliverable. And Thankful for Fran’s help. Yet
again.
5. Life. I am really thankful for life today.

And another smile. I can’t help it. I want to capture them all.

And a not-so-smiley face.

Thankful Today – August 12, 2008

1. This morning, on the way to school, David told me he works at Google.
“I have my own work, too,” he said. I am so thankful for these moments.
2. A nice, thoughtful conversation with my friend Greta.
3. Finally feeling 98% better.

4. And maybe, just maybe finally getting some peace back, too.

The Life She Imagined



I finally finished my painting. It has a million flaws but I still love
it. It’s my first. I won’t be my last.


I had never meant for the girl to be sad but somehow the drawing I made
was sad, so I thought about it a long while as I made my last
assignment. I decided to give her some thoughts that have been on my own
mind. Here’s the closeup.

I can’t wait to get started on my second one. Thank you, Paulette. This
has easily been the best class I ever took.

Thankful Today – August 11, 2008

1. Thankful that my cold finally seems to be gone. Not so happy about
the severe TMJ pain in its place but oh well.
2. For my little boy, who asked me for an apple last night, in bed. When
I said yes, he said, “Yey! You said yes. You’re a good person.” I love
him so much.
3. Thankful to Paulette for a wonderful painting class. For getting to
finish a full painting.

4. Thankful to have finished an assignment that I was sort of dreading.
5. Thankful for a week with a few less meetings than usual.
