Weekend

I had plans to do two things over the past week end. One, I was going to finish a collage I started and tie up some loose ends on some ATC and post cards swaps. Also, I was going to communicate with Carol on 14 Secrets and learn how to post an ATC swap. I got to enjoy company (Ray and Vicki) and go to a funeral instead. We, myself and the company, put puzzles together, and enjoyed some great meals. They are not hard to have as company but, I did go back to work today feeling really tired. Hopefully I will be more rested tomorrow.

Saturdays

Today I wanted to work in my art room on some ATCs, postcards, and a collage I am creating for swaps. Life, however, decided that would not happen in the morning hours of the day. I would be required to talk on the telephone. A family situation neccessary for me to do this. I did finally get into the art and then my stomach, being used to breakfast and lunch at certain times, decided to ask hurtingly for food, since it was after one pm in the day. I gave it a couple of hot links. Now, I am ready to return to the mindless, worryless, enchanting, creative zone. My favorite place to be!

Victory!

I made it to here! I have a blog! How cool is that considering all things? It is rather amazing how life seems to be going along just normal, then suddenly there is a shift, and whoosh, you have a new outlook, or toy. Two weeks ago I was seriously wondering what exactly I would do when I retire. I should have something in place, right? So, I was thinking maybe I could work online doing something artsy. Then, whoosh, I get invited to host art swaps. Its like serendipity. I had already decided to buy all new electronic equipment just before retirement becomes final so I would be up to date with computer and peripherials. I know I will need to stretch my abilities to learn to scan, post, manipulate,my art and whoosh, I am shown how to get here, and here I am blogging! Hopefully, life will continue with this trend. Wish me luck!
