gonna give it a whirl


I listened to a podcast the other day that said we should have a list of 5 things we WILL do every day, not ALL day, but EVERY day. These 5 things must be something we enjoy doing, if they were things we didn't enjoy, well, of course we'd most likely fail at it. Which is why you will not see exercise, dieting, laundry, or housework of any kind on my list LOL
I don't know what those 5 things are just yet for me, but I DO know that art is one of them. The best thing about that is, it can encompass so much! I don't have to go down and complete a canvas every day, however, if I have the time and want to, I can. I am going to open it up to say that I have to spend time in my studio every day, even if that means cleaning it, or looking at my art books.
So in an effort to start my day off right, I went down and took 20 min to make this ATC. I used only things that were on my desktop, which usually isn't very challenging to do because my desk top is usually a cluttered mess of left overs from projects done before.
So as my week rolls on, I'm going to try to come up with my other 4 things, but in the meantime, I'm just going to enjoy that I have 1. I encourage you all to do the same.
