Sup?

Glorious Day! Cool and perfect! Off to run errands and get ready for Torch Lake. Love the great Up North of Michigan and getting out of Birmingham so I can see SUNSETS!! The bigger the houses keep getting around here......less and less sky is even being seen. I love my little house. Bigger is not better to me. Huge houses on postage stamp lots is something I don't quite understand. But people do what they do. I've always been content living within my means because I love to travel. We all have our priorities and mine is seeing the world and has been for quite awhile now. Nothing is more exciting to me than being in nature with wild animals or exploring a culture so unlike mine. If I didn't have 5 dogs.........I'd leave for months at a time. I love my doggy kids and they will always come first. So far I've written 3 days in a row. It is kinda fun to read old posts and see how I was feeling. That's why they say "journaling" is so great. One thing hasn't changed in what I've read...........I HATE PEOPLE HURTING INNOCENT BEINGS OF ANY KIND!! I've always had a soft spot toward KINDNESS to ALL CREATURES on EARTH. I always will!

Starting a new habit.

And going to try and write everyday. I can't post pictures from my iPad so that's disappointing because when I sit outside I'm always on it. Going to Torch Lake next week and a wedding on Saturday in Traverse City. Can't wait to paint and sketch the beautiful lake and sunsets, and hopefully do a lot of gesture sketching. Brett won't let me draw him so we've been going to parks. I put-on my dark shades and sketch away. Maybe I'm sketching you. My little buddy DJ is laying still so I'm going to draw him now and I'm going to try once more and see if I can post a picture from the iPad. Or i'll have to learn to paint the pictures with words only on here. Whoop....there goes DJ.....squirrelly!

So much for New Years resolutions!

I just refound my blog and New Years resolution. Oh well.....writing my thoughts not a top priority this year so far. Although I do believe I just made a new word up.....refound.....:) I'm good at that. Been sketching all day....Brett doesn't sit still....nor do the dogs.....or the birds....or the squirrels....I need to learn to sketch faster! And seriously I do. I am amazed at how much I've learned in the last 3 years. My life has become so different. I've realized that so much of what I did then created the illusion of well being for me. Without you calling up telling me how much you love me and appreciate me, I've had to learn how to do that myself. And....I'm not being sent out on appearances or remotes or DJing parties so I've had to learn to create my own schedule and figure how to make myself fit into my life. Anyone who's been through a loss..... Know's what I'm talking about. But its all good....great in fact....and it's time for me to get a haircut..... See you soon Love to you always
