Well, I finished another piece today - Dreaming of Atlantis.  Feeling accomplished.  I am really in the mood to get my art room all tricked out.  I've also been feeling the urge to be crafty - painting is one thing - crafts are another.  I've been meaning to do some really elegant greeting cards, hand embellished.  That's always a fun way to get the craftiness urge out. 

It's been beautiful the last few days - in the 70s feeling like spring. Now it's raining again.  Kids are back in school and I have a couple hours to myself during the day again....I wish there was more time.  Sometimes people get so rushed that we forget to just sit and enjoy eachother for what we are.  It seems like my brain is always thinking of what's next.  Sometimes at night when I'm drifting off to sleep, I think maybe tomorrow I'll try to slow down and remember that my kids won't be living here forever.  This is the time to devour them in love and cherish their every joy and agony.  Watching them grow is the most magical thing of all.  Even when times get rough, which happens, it's all a part of life.  Endure and overcome. 

Speaking of the kiddies, it's off to read with one of them.... soon he'll be reading on his own - these are the times to remember.
