Gratitude

I have been out of the classroom for a month now and it is amazing how absolutely not bored I am.

My days have been filled with family, friends, cooking, art supplies, classes, workshops, trips into the city...  I am really trying, and actually getting better at, being in the moment and not looking to the time when this year off will come to an end. Thank you, thank you, thank you (to the universe, to my husband, and to all the wonderful people who support me) for this time. 

Playing with acrylics, copic markers, pencil, flare pen, and sharpie on sketch book paper. Oh, and my
iphone; which is a fossil by today's standards, but I am grateful for it especially since I got it for free!
