Tonight I'm thankful that I have time to paint. It's hard over a holiday, but big A has taken the kids for a movie night while I work.
Thanksgiving was the quiet, cozy, fragrant day I hoped it would be...that is until we broke into a dance party to shake off the comfort food. Many things I'm thankful for drifted through my mind as I stirred, mashed, splashed, and kneaded...
The ginkgo trees in October
dancing
good food
the forest
meeting new animals while adventuring
sisters
these guys
this guy
that I have this little space to share
that you're taking a moment to check in
that somehow I've carved out the time and space to pursue my work
that the occasional "f*** it" doesn't keep me down...that I never forget the list...that it keeps growing...
Lovely, lovely, lovely! I can't believe how big your kids are getting. We miss you here in Philly.
