Ain't No Sunshine

So, the weeks are long, but go by so fast.  And, it doesn't matter what the weather is, but rainy days can really get you down.  The news is awful, and grim.  Your vision for the future begins to dim.  But, then you wake up to a sunny day.  And, say ok!  Ok, another opportunity to make the best of this day. How will I use today for the better.  It was really fun thinking about Disney, all last week.  I did get four scrapbooks finished from using old Disney covers.  I have pictures sorted to make an album each for Kaylyn and Ian.  I will have fun dropping off scrapbooks to two people this week.  I realized really how much music effects my mood.  If I am having a bad day inside, I do go out and take a ride and listen to music.  It helps ground me.  Yesterday, I came home and started the book:  Lettering for Relaxation.  These are the first two pages.  I can't wait to use all the different pens I realized still are full of ink and ready to use.  The pens have been in my scrap room for more then eleven years and I thought the ink would have dried up by now.

So, this week I hope to concentrate on painting and lettering more.  And maybe combining the two.

I also am going to have my posts involve music in some way or form.  The last ten years I may have not much time at home.  I appreciated every single opportunity I took to listen to live music.  Live music makes me feel alive.  I know I am witnessing greatness.  I think that is what I will look forward to getting back to the most.  The other is getting back to work!  But, for the meantime there is this whole new day out there today.  I can't wait to see what it brings.  Here comes the sun!
